Get Personal With Your 'Driving Personality' When Choosing Tires

(NC)-Spring is here and if you haven't already done so, it's time to take a look at your tires and equip your vehicle with something suitable for the spring and summer seasons. But don't just rush out and buy the first set of tires you find, or the ones with the best sale price - make sure what you choose is best suited to your vehicle and your driving personality. A used tire tells a lot about your driving personality too, so if you're in any doubt about which tires to buy, here's a little help from Alliance Tire Professionals:

The Speed Demon

If you own a performance vehicle and aren't afraid to take advantage of its power and handling, consider equipping your car with g-Force T/A tires by BFGoodrich.

While scoring top marks in wet traction, maximum tread life, and a quiet ride, the g-Force T/A also delivers outstanding all-weather capability and everyday handling. Plus, what's not to love about the sleek look of sporty, high performance tires? But be careful - no tire can compensate for lousy driving. When experiencing all that your vehicle has to offer, remember to exercise caution and obey the rules of the road.

The Soccer Mom

"Fasten your seat belts kids, we're off to soccer practice!" If this sounds familiar, then perhaps the Uniroyal Tiger Paw Freedom is the right tire for you. For drivers of passenger cars and minivans who demand exceptional value, the Uniroyal Tiger Paw Freedom uses the latest technology to create a great balance of quality features and value in high-mileage, all-season tires at an affordable price. With all-season handling, excellent wet traction and low noise, the sensible, family-oriented driver will feel safe and sound on the road this summer. And to keep the kids happy and entertained while driving to and from soccer practice all season long, don't forget to equip your vehicle with treats - they are almost as important as your tires.

The Constant Driver

Does your job find you behind the wheel for the better part of the day? For the driver whose work requires a great deal of city driving - tire performance is key. The Michelin HydroEdge tire excels in many performance categories including wet traction, maximum tread life, and a quiet ride at the same time delivering outstanding all-weather capability and everyday handling. Remember to get lots of rest though, long days on the road can be tiring. Don't forget to pull over to the side of the road for some fresh air if you're starting to feel groggy behind the wheel.

The Road Tripper

If you like to spend your weekends up at the cottage or taking long trips across the country in your SUV, the Michelin Cross Terrain SUV is the best bet for you. This tire provides exceptional handling, a quiet ride and comfort similar to that of a luxury car, while still offering aggressive truck-like styling and excellent traction in any weather. The Michelin Cross Terrain SUV is an excellent touring tire for long distances and highway driving. When the weather gets hot, be sure to stay cool by hydrating before hitting the highway for extended periods of time
