Winter can prove dangerous when road conditions turn to cold, snowy, icy or slushy. Make sure you know the difference between tire categories and the benefits they have to offer. Tire Tech will gladly help you to pick the tire that best suit your needs. Winter Tires will adapt to winter driving conditions to provide you with enhanced traction on cold, icy or snowy pavements.
There are multiple technical aspects of the Winter tires that make them suitable for winter driving such as tread design optimized for cold, snowy grip, sipes for water evacuation and, most importantly, Winter tires have a different rubber mix that is designed to grip the road and keep you and your vehicle safe in the winter months.
All-Weather Tires are part of a newer tire category and have a rubber compound that stays pliable in colder conditions, meaning that they can be driven in the winter months.
All-Season Tires should be thought of as 3-season tires and should not be used in the winter months, most specifically when temperatures drop below 7° Celsius. Anything colder than that will cause the rubber mix to harden and will reduce traction.
Let’s put it this way, nothing beats a good winter tire for traction in cold, icy and snowy conditions. Your driving habits, the winter conditions where you live and the type of vehicle you own will all come into play when deciding whether all-weather tires are right for you!
