Whether you drive a domestic or a foreign vehicle, we will match you to the perfect set of tires. And above all, we will do so with an unrivaled level of integrity, transparency, and honesty that you can only find at Girlington Garage. Now, let’s chit-chat about tires.

Finding the Best Tires Can Be Hard, But We Make It Easy

When looking for the tires for your vehicle, the team at Girlington Garage can help. We eliminate all guesswork by getting to know you, your driving habits, and your needs. Then we can suggest the best, most affordable tire solution — whether snow tires, all-season tires, or any other type.

Fortunately, we offer all types of tires for sedans, minivans, SUVs, CUVs, trucks, diesel, and everything in between. Some of the most popular types of tires we offer include:

• All-season tires: All-season tires are engineered to maximize comfort for everyday driving in warmer climates.

• Touring tires: Touring tires are similar to all-season tires, but they may offer slightly more responsive handling and higher speed ratings. This means touring tires can endure higher speeds while still offering excellent control and driver security.

• Summer tires: As the name suggests, summer tires aren’t made for every season. Instead, they are best suited for warm weather conditions. However, summer tires do offer responsive handling and a firm grip in different driving conditions, including wet weather.

• Performance tires: These tires have unique grooves and tread designs to deliver exceptional handling at higher speeds while increasing performance.

• All-terrain tires: Do you like to take the road less traveled on your truck or SUV? If so, all-terrain tires are uniquely designed to support driving off-road in gravel, sand, or dirt.

• Winter tires or snow tires: Snow tires are essential in Vermont. These tires are engineered to help you maintain control and handling in snow and on icy roads. We will discuss snow tires in more detail below.

Don’t know which tire is best for you? The team at Girlington Garage can help. We will explain all of your options and guide you to the best solution.

Why Choose Winter Tires from Girlington Garage?

Because we live in the Northeastern United States, snow tires aren’t a nice-to-have — but a must-have. As previously mentioned, winter tires are uniquely engineered to bolster your traction when driving in icy or snowy conditions. This is something that no other tire is formulated to do. And here are the characteristics of winter tires that help them perform.

Winter Tires Have a Specially-Designed Rubber Composition

The rubber used on winter tires is uniquely designed to stay pliable and soft when the temperatures drop. This design helps ensure you maintain adequate traction and grip. On the other hand, the rubber on all-season tires and different types of tires stiffens in the cold, which reduces your traction.

Winter Tires Have Deeper Tread Depths

With deeper tread depths, snow tires can improve your traction in snowy conditions and reduce snow buildup.

Snow Tires Have a Unique Tread Pattern

The tread pattern on winter tires helps you safely channel slush and snow while expelling water. These functions work together to help you stop more securely, maintain traction, and improve control.

Winter Tires Have Biting Edges

In addition, winter tires have an increased number of small blocks, zig-zag grooves, or biting edges that cover the tread. These grooves work to bite into ice or snow to deliver improved traction and performance in typical Vermont conditions.
