Dear Robert,

With the warm weather approaching, Iâ€™m thinking about fitting summer tires to my 2019 Nissan Rogue. I'm not sure if it's worth doing: what do you think?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi, Matt!

Whether or not you should fit Summer tires to your 2019 Nissan Rogue really depends on the conditions youâ€™re going to drive in.

These tires work best in temperatures in excess of 45-degrees Fahrenheit. They're made from a softer rubber compound and fitted with large tread blocks.

The composition of summer tires means they're extremely grippy. Theyâ€™ll have more traction in both wet and dry conditions. Fitting them to your Rogue will give it better handling and braking capabilities.

Once temperatures drop, however, the soft rubber compound hardens and traction is greatly reduced, to the point that it may be dangerous. If you drive in cold weather you could actually damage the tire, causing it to chip or crack.

So if youâ€™re confident youâ€™ll only drive in warm weather conditions, then these tires would be a good addition to your vehicle.

Thanks for the question, Matt! Please donâ€™t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
