The Benefits of Winter Tires

Choosing the right tires for your car, truck or SUV is important for a variety of reasons. Tires that are in good condition and inflated to the proper PSI can improve your vehicle’s gas mileage. Worn-out tires or tires that are not inflated properly can cause your vehicle to handle poorly and can be dangerous.

Choosing the right type of tire for the season is also important. All-season tires are fine for most driving conditions, but if you live in an area that experiences a lot of snow and ice in the winter, you may want to consider investing in a set of winter tires.

Winter tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and on icy roads. They are made with a softer rubber compound that stays flexible in cold weather and they have deeper treads to provide a better grip on slippery surfaces.

Some winter tires also have special tread patterns and steel or carbon fiber studs that further improve traction on icy roads. If you live in an area where winters are snowy and icy, switching to winter tires for the season can help you feel more confident behind the wheel and can make driving in winter weather safer for you and your family.

Why You Need Winter Tires

When do you need winter tires? If you live in an area where snow and ice are common during the winter months, then you need winter tires. Winter tires are designed to give you better traction, handling, and braking on cold, snowy, and icy roads.

In BC the temperatures dip below freezing regularly during the winter, so it is best to have winter tires. Winter tires are made from a different type of rubber compound that remains flexible in colder temperatures. This allows them to grip the road better and give you more traction.

How to Choose the Right Winter Tires

It’s important to choose the right winter tires for your vehicle to ensure optimal performance and safety on the roads. The first step is to select the right size, which you can find in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the tire placard located on the doorjamb. Once you have the size, you can narrow down your choices by considering the following factors:

Type of vehicle- SUV, passenger car, light truck, etc.

Driving conditions- mostly highway driving, mostly city driving, etc.

Climate- severe winter weather, mild winter weather, etc.

Tire features- studded or non-studded, all-season or winter only, etc.

After considering these factors, you can then look at different brands and models of tires to find the best option for you. It’s also a good idea to read reviews from other drivers to get an idea of how a certain tire performs in different conditions. When you’re ready to buy, remember to always check for sales and promotions to get the best deal on winter tires at Trail Tire.

Winter Tires FAQs

Why should I buy winter tires?

If you live in an area where snow and ice are regular winter weather events, then you should definitely invest in a good set of winter tires. Winter tires are specifically designed to provide better traction, handling, and braking on cold, snowy, and icy roads.

What is the difference between all-season and winter tires?

All-season tires are designed to provide good performance in a variety of seasonal conditions, including hot summer days, mild autumn days, and chilly winter days. Winter tires, on the other hand, are specifically designed for use in cold weather conditions.

They are made from a special type of rubber compound that remains soft and pliable even in freezing temperatures, which helps them grip the road better on icy and snowy surfaces. Winter tires also have deep tread patterns that help propel slush and snow out from under the tire for better traction.

Can I use my all-season tires in the winter?

If you live in an area where winters are relatively mild with little snow or ice, then you may be able to get away with using all-season tires during the winter months.

However, if you live in an area where winters are snowy and icy, then we recommend investing in a good set of winter tires. The improved traction and handling that winter tires provide will be well worth the investment when road conditions are at their worst. In BC though winter tires are needed to travel on many highways starting October 1st.
