All-season tires

The city of Salinas is known for its mild Mediterranean climate, and while rain is quite common during the winter months, the summers and winters are mild and sunny. This type of weather provides the ideal ingredients for the prominent agricultural industry in Salinas but also the perfect recipe for all-season tires which you can use all year round. These tires have been specially designed for mild climates, with no extreme temperatures. Overall, all-season tires are known for excellent tread life, smoother rides, and can actually help with fuel economy. Whether you choose Michelin, Bridgestone, or Goodyear, these tires are all carefully constructed for the mild weather conditions you’ll see in Salinas, CA.

Performance tires

If you plan to be driving up and down the California coast for long periods of time, you might consider choosing performance tires. Summer tires have been designed to handle hot road surfaces and often offer better grip than all-season tires in prolonged heat. In our opinion, the best place to buy tires in Salinas is utires.com.
