What tires do you need for Jackson weather?

What tires do you need for Jackson weather?
If you're looking for moderate weather this is the place for you. The city enjoys a fairly mild climate, with average high temperatures ranging from the mid-60s in winter to the low 90s in summer. However, the humidity can make it feel much hotter during the summer months and it does see a lot of thunderstorms. Rain is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, but the city does tend to see more rain during the spring and fall months. Winters are cool but snow is a rare sight, although not unheard of.
This all makes choosing tires quite straightforward, as the temperatures rarely drop low enough for you to need specialist cold weather tires. Most people in the City with Soul opt for all-season tires either for their car or pickup truck, as these tires deal very well with both dry and wet roads, and can even handle light snow, which is all you should expect in the city.
Motorists who enjoy leaving the paved roads of the city and venturing off into the countryside might choose to put an all-terrain tire or specialist off-road tire on their vehicle, to allow them to enjoy the mud and rocks to the fullest!

DRIVERS’ JACKSON GUIDE: PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Drivers’ Jackson guide: practical information
Drivers’ Jackson guide: practical information
Getting around the City with Soul by car is usually a pleasant affair, but it’s still important to understand the local rules of the road and where to check for traffic updates. We have all this and more in our practical drivers’ guide!

Live traffic report

Unless there’s a severe weather event or construction you shouldn’t need to check these traffic reports too often. But it’s always useful to have them to hand:
Mississippi Department of Transport’s official website also has a traffic app that you can download.

Seasonal tire changeover

Drivers in Jackson are lucky to live in a city where you don’t have to change your tires when winter comes. Driving on a set of all-season tires, year-round is not only possible but it’s a great idea. These tires are hardwearing and affordable, giving you a safe ride in wet and dry conditions. They are even able to cope with the very occasional light snowfall that the city sees, some years.
Sportier drivers might prefer to use summer tires, as they offer superior performance in warm and hot weather, helping your car handle well at higher speeds. They are especially suitable for performance vehicles and sports cars. Again, these tires can be used year-round in the city. However, as they do not perform as well at temperatures below 45 °F, caution should be taken when driving on them at night in December, January, and February, when temperatures can drop below 45 °F.

Driving Laws

We all need to stay safe on the roads and here are five rules that you’ll need to remember when driving in Jackson:
  1. Roundabouts are a relatively new thing in Jackson but learning how to navigate them safely and effectively is important. The Mississippi Department of Transport Drive Smart official website has information on how to navigate them.
  2. Flashing yellow arrows on traffic signals indicate you are permitted to turn left at specific intersections but must yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic.
  3. J-Turns for crossing busy, multi-lane highways, allow vehicles on side roads who either want to turn left onto the highway, or go straight over, to do so safely. First, you turn right, then pull onto a u-turn lane on your left, before u-turning and continuing on your way.
  4. Turn down high beams if you are within 500 feet of another vehicle to avoid glaring light in another driver’s eyes.
  5. Cell phone usage in cars is not strictly against the law, but if it in any way distracts you from driving you can be cited for reckless or careless driving.

Parking rules

Parking in Jackson is generally pretty easy, but it’s important to stick to local rules and regulations:
  1. One-way streets: You must park with your left-hand wheels within 12 inches of the curb on one-way streets, as long as there isn’t a no-parking sign.
  2. Don’t obstruct traffic: When parking on a street or alley there must be at least 10 feet of the width of the street free for other vehicles to get by.
  3. Selling, advertising, and washing: No parking on roads is allowed for the purpose of selling a vehicle, advertising on a vehicle, or washing a vehicle.
  4. Loading zones: No parking is allowed in loading zones. Stopping is only allowed there to unload, or load passengers or goods, for a maximum of three minutes.
  5. Bus and taxi stands: No parking is allowed in bus or taxi stands. Only busses or taxis are allowed to stop at their specific stands.
Full parking regulations can be found on the Jackson, MS Municipal Codes official website.

Window tint laws

The weather in Jackson can get quite hot, so window tinting is popular to cool down the interior of vehicles and save on air conditioning costs. But you must stick to the regulations regarding tinting in the city:

Cars

  • Front Windshield: Above the AS-1 line, any darkness of non-reflective tint can be applied.
  • All other windows: For other windows, tints must have at least a VTL of 28%.

SUVs and vans

  • Front Windshield: Above the AS-1 line, any darkness tint can be applied, as long as it’s non-reflective.

Roads and highways

  • US 51 also runs north-south through Jackson passing through the downtown area. To the north of the city, the highway continues heading north all the way to the Wisconsin/Michigan state line. In the other direction it intersects with I-55 just south of downtown and continues to follow this Interstate all the way to LaPlace, Louisiana.
