Snow tires a worthy investment
Automotive experts say that snow tires are a worthy
investment that improve maneuverability and stopping
power on winter roads. Many people leave all -season
tires on their vehicles throughout the year, but snow
tires may help decrease snow -related accidents and may
even help drivers save money on their auto insurance.
• Snow tires are particularly helpful for people who
cannot wait for roads to be cleared before they begin
their days. Snow tires provide greater traction in wet,
snowy or slushy conditions. Snow tires provide ample
grip and make it easier for cars to turn corners and stop
on slick roads.
• As the mercury falls, the rubber used to make
traditional tires can become hard and less pliable,
compromising its ability to grip the road. However,
many snow tires are made with a specialized rubber that
remains supple even in very cold temperatures, making
it easier for the tire to hug the roadways even when those
roads are in poor condition.
• People who live in very cold climates and areas where
snow and ice dominate the landscape for several months
per year often find all -season tires are inadequate and
likely to slip. Snow tires make for safer alternatives in
such regions.
• Snow tires are typically manufacturered the previous
summer, meaning inventory is finite, according to
Consumer Reports. Drivers who wait until the first
snowstorm to purchase their snow tires may encounter
limited inventory and find it difficult to locate the right
size tire for their vehicles. That's why it's important to
shop early.
• Retire snow tires earlier than you would all -season
tires. Snow tires lose almost all of their effectiveness
once they reach 6/32 -inch deep tread.
Snow tires can make roads safer for drivers who live
in locales with long, snowy winters. They also are ideal
for drivers who desire more traction, cornering and
stopping capacity on winter roadways.
