Winter vs. Summer vs. All-Season Tires in Hagerstown, MD
Get the right kind of tires for your trips to Hagerstown City Park at Sheehy Subaru Hagerstown. Also, explore the differences between winter, summer, and all-season tires in this overview prepared by our team members. Our Tire Center is right around the corner, so drop by soon.
Winter
We experience a range of seasonal weather conditions here in Maryland, and it’s important to prepare for the colder months of the year. Ice and snow can be dangerous, so equip your Subaru WRX, Impreza, or Forester with the proper winter tires. These have deep groves that will not get easily packed with slush. That way, it’s less likely that you will slip or skid on unsalted roads. Since winter tires are constructed from a less rigid material, they also have more resistance to frigid temperatures. We highly recommend that you change them before the hotter season arrives, as the heat can rapidly wear these tires out as you venture up and down I-70.
Summer
If winter is over and it has become warm outside, then you should get ready for your upcoming road trips by springing for summer tires. Unlike winter tires, these units have shallow tread depths and a wider shape that is designed to handle wet and dry conditions alike. Their rigid structure makes them resilient against wearing down from excessive heat, so expect them to last for the long haul. These tires are able to keep your fuel costs low on the open road, making them a great option for cross-country treks. Since their tread is less defined, you won’t get much traction on snowy roadways, so don’t use them in the winter. If you want to request summer components for yourself, order them online today!
All-Season
With winter and summer tires, you will have to change them out at the turn of the seasons. If this is inconvenient for your lifestyle, then you may want to consider opting for all-season tires. These don’t have any specialities like the aforementioned types, but they are reliable for your daily travels around Hagerstown. Also, you will get to limit your service trips when your tires function yearround. All-season tires are known for their reliability, which is why many new Subaru models come standard with them directly from the manufacturer. Ask our team members about all-terrain tires, as these may benefit your off-road adventures. Whichever type you select, our technicians will quickly and expertly handle your replacement.

Testimonials
Buying a used Subaru from Sheehy was an amazing experience!
It was a great experience.
“ We did not go to Sheehey with the intent of buying a car just to window shop. The selection was good and the sales staff very helpful. It was a great experience. Manny and Michelle were tops. Having been a happy Subaru Outback for 11 years. We purchased a 2025 Outback XT Touring. Looking forward to many more happy years. ”
I would recommend anyone in the market for a car to at least give Sheehy a chance.
“ I bought a car over the weekend of 09/06/2025. I purchased a beautiful crystal pearl white 2025 Subaru Forester Touring with Java brown interior. My sales man, Kevin Stallman, is such a personal and enjoyable guy to talk to. Felt more like a friend of a friend than a sales man. He cared more about getting me the right car for the right price. Helping me test drive multiple cars, debating price, added accessories. The finance manager, Michelle Garret, is a delightful person to talk to as well. She offered great assistance in answering all my questions and getting me squared away with my final signature. The whole place felt like a family rather than a pressuring sales joint. I would recommend anyone in the market for a car to at least give Sheehy a chance. ”
Just bought my first brand new car yesterday and couldn’t be happier!
“ Just bought my first brand new car yesterday and couldn’t be happier! Godwill helped us out and wasn’t pushy at all. He was very understanding and made sure all of our concerns were taken care of. He was very kind, helpful, and transparent with all the costs, which I appreciated as a first time buyer. Noah was also very friendly and made sure I got the best deal with financing. He was also very honest. Super excited about my 2025 Subaru crosstrek premium! Thank you Sheehy Hagerstown! ”
Kept me informed
“ Tysheem was a great salesperson kept me informed and answered my million questions throughout the couple days before I came in. 10/10 recommend asking for him when you go in. Max was great and gave me a paw print license plate frame to match my steering wheel cover thanks! He also worked with me about my title and had someone come pick it up I even got to peel some peelies off the car Thanks guys ”
Great Price on my 2024 Crosstrek Sport Leo was an awesome sales rep ask for him!

Best experience buying a car that we ever had

Very Fair and transparent buying experience

responsive and patient
“ I went to this location in researching a vehicle purchase. The staff were responsive and patient with questions. Knowledge of the vehicles were impressive and test driving the vehicles was a hassle free experience. I would recommend this location to consider for your next purchase. ”
fantastic experience
“ I had a fantastic experience at Sheehy while buying my Subaru Crosstrek! Our salesman Carlos was extremely helpful the whole time and made the buying process easy. He was so personable and knowledgeable about the product, it helped me feel very confident in making my decision. Once I had picked my car, Carlos went through every feature and button with me so I could have the best ride home. Every person we worked with there had our best interest in mind and it made it the best car buying experience I’ve had to date. I’d recommend Sheehy Subaru to anyone in the market for a new car! ”
Amazing!
“ Leo and the manager Kate are amazing here, I got a great deal on this beautiful WRX. Leo was so understanding and patient with me through this whole process! He didn’t want me to leave without a car, he worked so hard for me and I finally went home with my first car for a great deal. I can say if you go in and ask for Leo you’re most definitely going home with a car. He made me feel like family. Still checking in on me and my car so I’m happy. ”
Very Knowledgeable
“ I would definitely recommend Dylan Donnelly, he was very knowledgeable. I normally despise car shopping, but it was very easy to work with him. We started out looking at new Subaru's but were really impressed with the certified used inventory. We ended up getting two like new Outbacks and couldn't be happier. Even with the inflated market, I feel we got a good deal especially considering the included 100k warranty. He even brought the vehicle's to us when it was time to sign paperwork. ”
Worked extra hard
“ The sales department worked extra hard to get me the vehicle I wanted in the color I wanted. ”
from beginning to end was a good experience
“ I just purchased a used Subaru from these guys and from beginning to end was a good experience. Ask for Anthony Voisinet in sales, great guy and very knowledgeable in Subaru's. Max as Sales Mgr. was also a great guy and very polite and professional. I will be back for my new one! No doubt. ”
Purchased my first new car today
“ Purchased my first new car today. A Subaru Ascent, Limited! To say I am pleased with my experience would be an understatement. First, Leo, the sales rep was amazing to work with. He is very personable and outgoing, I will work with him again in the future! Kat the finance manager, she’s so sweet and takes the time to go over all the details of your purchase and explain how things work for you. Definitely a great finance manager to work with. Lastly, Kate, the sales manager, wonderful woman! She was great to talk with and share a real conversation with. I will 100% return because of her and the rest of the team! Thank you all for a great buying experience! ”
FANTASTIC!!
“ This is the second vehicle we have bought from Sheehy Subaru and they didn't disappoint for round two! Leo was FANTASTIC!! He even came in on his day off because we couldn't finish out the first evening we came down. Kate was also wonderful! Even when it looked like the sale wouldn't go through, we laughed and enjoyed getting to know each other. They were able to give us a deal we felt comfortable with, and even went above and beyond in making sure it was all completed - to the point of bringing the vehicle and paperwork to our home later that night. I will continue to return to Sheehy because the sales staff is the best we've ever experienced (and we've experienced quite a few). Both times it has been best car buying experience we've ever had. ”
Best Experience
“ Recently purchased a 2021 Subaru Legacy Limited from Sheehy Subaru in Hagerstown and it was the best experience anyone could ask for! While working with Devante, he was able to provide me with great insight and lead me towards the vehicle I wanted. He was very patient and gave great advice when looking through each of the vehicles before making a purchase. Max was also very helpful in discussing the financing plans/options which can be one of the most stressful decisions in buying a vehicle. Thanks to Devante and Max, the car buying experience was very simple and exciting! ”
Service Department 100%.
“ I am super excited about my trip to your service center. Everyone was so courteous and helpful from my first encounter to the finish. I am rating your Service Department 100%. ”
Great experience!
“ Great experience! Michael DeJesus is professional, knowledgeable, personable, and best of all - not pushy. He really knows the product and worked hard to meet the vehicle needs of my family. I would definitely come back here and recommend to others. ”
“ Buying a used Subaru from Sheehy was an amazing experience! Marley was spectacular as a salesman! He went out of his way to make the buying experience extremely easy. He made me feel comfortable the entire time. He spent the time to answer all my questions, go over all the facts, explain all the numbers, and made sure I understood everything. He even went as far as returning my rental vehicle to Enterprise for me while I was finishing up paperwork with Zach. The finance manager Zach was just as exceptional as Marley! He also took the time to explain all my options with an extended warranty and service and made sure I understood all the facts and dollar amounts. Both gentlemen were extremely professional, polite, and took a genuine interest in my needs for a car. I spent time speaking with both men about our families and our lives and felt that they both were exceptional family men of high standards who took an interest in their customers as real people and were not only trying to sell cars. I highly recommend Sheehy Subaru to anyone looking for a used or new Subaru. When my daughter is ready next year to buy her next car, our first stop will be to see Marley at Sheehy Subaru. ”
