Why Do I Need Winter Tires?

We can’t emphasize the importance of winter tires enough, because they’re the only element of your car that makes contact with the road. This is especially true in the cold season when the unique tread and rubber compositions featured in winter tires help you hold onto the road even when the weather isn’t ideal. Winter tires also make the streets safer for everybody on it, and help keep your car out of the body shop for collisions.

How Do Winter Tires Work?

Winter tires improve braking distance and control by utilizing different rubber compositions to maintain cold-weather integrity, and tread patterns to cut through and push away slush, water, and snow. Winter tire treads also contain slits that provide more surface area when in contact with the roads, improving grip and traction.

When Should I Change My Tires?

While you would think that the optimum time to put on your winter tires is when the first snowflakes fall, but technically you should do so much earlier. As all-season and performance tires are constructed of a different rubberized coating than winter tires, they begin to harden and start losing elasticity at 7 degrees celsius. As a result, when Fall arrives and the temperature drops early in the morning, your tires aren’t operating at their peak performance.

While this may seem costly upfront, the immediate safety benefits, plus long-term durability of two sets vs just one set, make having a winter set and summer set of tires a better long-term value proposition.

Do I Need All Four Winter Tires?

You would think that whether your car has front- or rear-wheel drive, you might get away with simply two winter tires for the proper axle. Utilizing a full set of winter tires accomplishes two goals: first, and most significantly, it ensures the most secure driving experience. The capability to grip the ground and turn will be reduced if winter tires are only on two wheels. Secondly, your other tires may deteriorate over time disproportionately, potentially causing aligning difficulties as well as a reduction in fuel efficiency. That is why it is critical to ensure your vehicle is equipped with a full set of proper winter tires once the season begins to change.
