WINTER TIRES!!

If you are not sure, allow us to help you understand.

1. Drive Safe with Winter Tires: Understanding Stopping Distances in Winter
Winter driving brings challenges like rain, slush, snow, ice, and cold temperatures. Stopping your vehicle in these conditions can be difficult, as regular tires lose traction on cold and often slippery road surfaces. Equip your car with winter tires to maintain better control and safer stopping distances.
When temperatures dip below freezing on dry pavement, vehicles with all-season tires require 30% more stopping distance than those equipped with winter tires. Snow and ice-covered roads further extend stopping distances, making winter tires essential for safe driving.

Moreover, winter tires provide superior traction on snowy surfaces at -40°C, outperforming all-season tires even at +4°C.

2. Tires for Winter Driving:
In the beginning, there were summer tires and snow tires. Then came the All-Season tire, offering improved grip in various conditions, from wet and dry surfaces to light snow. However, while these All-Season tires perform adequately across different conditions, they don’t meet the minimum snow traction requirements to qualify as true winter tires. For the safest winter driving experience, the industry recommends winter tires . And with all the recent advancements in tire technology, particularly in tread compound and design, have significantly enhanced overall driving performance, with winter tires seeing the most notable improvements.

3. Benefit of winter tires.
As temperatures drop, all tire rubber starts to stiffen, but the latest generation of winter tires remains flexible even in extreme cold, around -30°C and lower, offering superior traction and grip. Modern winter tires are engineered not just for snowy conditions but also to perform better on cold, dry pavement.

Remember, once you can see your breath, it's time to switch to winter tires.

4. Who needs winter tires?
Even if you drive an SUV or live in an area where roads are frequently cleared, installing winter tires on all four wheels enhances traction in all road conditions when temperatures dip below 7°C. While all-season tires offer safe performance in various weather, winter tires excel when temperatures drop. In fact, modern winter tires provide up to 50% or more traction in winter conditions compared to all-season tires.

Look for the mountain snowflake symbol: Tires displaying the mountain snowflake symbol meet or exceed industry-established snow traction performance requirements and have been designed specifically for use in cold weather and severe no conditions.

5. Winter Tire Checklist

When choosing a winter tire, consider your driving needs
• Do you live record temperatures are common?
• Do you drive on icy or snowy roads?
• Do you have to use your vehicle everyday, regardless of the weather?
• Do you drive off main streets and roads in winter?
• Do you drive early in the morning or late at night in winter?
• Do you drive nearly the same speed regardless of the temperature?
