ploughed less frequently, while sudden
heavy snow falls and flash freezes can
turn your drive into a treacherous one.
For rural drivers, aggressive studded
snow tires are ideal for conquering the
rough, frozen terrain. Keep in mind to
check your local bylaws, as studded
tires are illegal in some urban areas.
• Commuter Driving: While highways are
salted and ploughed regularly, you still need
a winter tire that can deal with adverse con-
ditions. Don't be fooled by the promise of
all -season tires, studies have shown that at
-14 C all -season tires lose up to 60 per cent
of their grip. As a commuter, winter tires are
recommended. The high performance
Hankook Winter i•cept evo offers excellent
traction and performance while maintain-
ing a quiet and smooth ride.
• Urban Driving: For those living in cities,
where space comes at a premium, drivers
often do not have room to store a second
set of winter tires. Thanks to a new cate-
gory of tires, 'the all-weather; drivers no
longer need to sacrifice safety for conven-
ience and space. All-weather tires feature
next generation technology that do what
traditional 'all -season' tires were meant to
do: provide great traction year round
while maintaining manoeuvrability and
speed. Thanks to recent improvements in
rubber compounds all-weather tires
provide improved traction on snow and
ice, with minimal loss in year round per-
formance and wear.
Remember, your tires are the only four
points of your car that touch the road, and
you should put as much thought into those
four points as you do into the rest of your car.
