At Steet Ponte Auto Group, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us. This year, we proudly launched our first annual School Supplies Drive, bringing smiles to the faces of hundreds of young students as they prepare for the new school year.
A Commitment to Our Community
This August, our team at Steet Ponte Auto Group came together for a day of service, filling 504 backpacks with essential school supplies. Each backpack was carefully packed with a ruler, a pack of #2 pencils, two pink erasers, a notebook, a folder, a four-pack of glue sticks, and a 24-pack of Crayola crayons. These supplies were distributed to local schools across the region, ensuring that students have the tools they need to succeed.

Winter roads can be challenging here in upstate New York and that’s why we’re conducting a special Snow Tire Sale from now through January 2nd, 2024. For a limited time, you can get 15% off the purchase of quality snow tires to help you and your family make it through winter safely. The offer doesn’t include the cost of installation but it can give you significant savings on the kind of outstanding snow tires your vehicle needs. Show us the coupon at the service specials link to get this special offer and get the kind of special discount you’d expect from a dealership that’s been serving local communities like Yorkville and Syracuse since 1945.
The importance of winter snow tires in upstate New York
When temperatures drop below freezing and the snow starts falling on New York highways, it will be essential to have winter tires on your used car, truck or SUV from our dealership. Winter roads can give you anything from heavy snowfall to black ice and that means you’re driving over treacherous surfaces. In winter, the tires on your vehicle are more important than at any other time of the year. The right snow tires can help you handle ice, snow and freezing temperatures much more capably than other kinds of tires.
Why all-season tires aren’t adequate for New York winters
All-season tires can work well enough for moderate temperatures but they’re engineered with a number of compromises in order to give you good performance in a wide variety of weather conditions. That’s why all-season tires can’t take on extreme winter challenges like traveling through snow or ice around Utica or Rome NY. All-season tires are a lot like all-purpose tennis shoes. They work well enough for a good part of the year but when the snow falls and ice forms, you need good, heavy boots to get you through the winter. That principle applies to the tires on your car: Extreme weather conditions call for well-engineered snow tires.
Some special strengths that make snow tires more effective
One key difference in well-engineered snow tires is the tread rubber. With all-season tires, the tread rubber can get stiff and become less able to give you the traction you need on snowy highways. To address that issue, quality snow tires have tread rubber compounds that help them stay more flexible and that helps good snow tires to get a better grip on the road.
Another benefit of snow tires is that they have deeper tread depths. That means your tires can reduce any snow buildup which helps you get better traction in snow. The tread patterns in snow tires are designed to help channel away snow while expelling water. In addition, winter tires have more biting edges and higher sipe densities. Sipes are the thousands of tiny slits in the tread that give you better traction on snow and ice.
Why you need a full set of snow tires
When we mount winter tires for the cold weather season, we always recommend installing a full set. If you only change the front tires, you increase the risk that the rear tires will skid and that can present a clear hazard for you and your family. If you put snow tires only on the rear wheels, that might cause your front tires to lose traction and make it harder to steer your vehicle.
To get 15% off snow tires, you must act by January 2nd, 2024
We’ll be happy to provide additional information about the value of snow tires and help you find a quality brand that can help keep you and your family safe. During this limited time when we’re offering 15% off the purchase of snow tires, we encourage you to schedule an appointment in our service center and allow us to install a great set of snow tires at United Auto Sales of Utica in Utica, NY.
