Why Winter Tires Are Essential—Not Just for Snow
Winter tires are engineered for more than just snowy conditions. Once temperatures drop below 7ºC (45ºF), the rubber compounds in winter tires remain more flexible and elastic than those found in all-season tires. This increased flexibility enhances grip, providing better traction and control, even on cold, dry pavement. In fact, using winter tires in low temperatures can significantly improve stopping distances, keeping you safer in challenging driving conditions, whether it's wet, slushy, icy, or dry but cold.
The Benefits of a Complete Winter Tire Package
Investing in a Complete Winter Tire Package, which includes both winter tires and dedicated rims, is a smart decision for several reasons:
- Optimized Performance: By using tires designed specifically for winter or all-season conditions, you ensure maximum performance and safety in each season. Winter tires give you better traction in cold weather, while all-season tires are more suitable for milder conditions.
- Extended Tire Life: Rotating between winter and all-season tires extends the life of both sets. Since you’re using each set only in the conditions for which they were designed, you avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
- Convenience and Cost Efficiency: Having a dedicated set of winter tires on their own rims makes it easier and quicker to switch between seasons, reducing installation time and costs each year. Plus, it minimizes the risk of damage to the tires during mounting and unmounting.
- Improved Safety: The added grip and handling winter tires offer when temperatures dip below 7ºC can make a significant difference, reducing the chances of accidents, especially in unexpected cold snaps or early frost.
With a Complete Winter Tire Package, you’ll not only enhance your driving safety during the colder months, but you’ll also optimize the lifespan of both your all-season and winter tires, making it a sound long-term investment.
WHAT YOU GET WITH A WINTER TIRE PACKAGE
4 WINTER TIRES
Winter tires provide increased traction, confidence, and control in winter conditions. Plus, most insurance companies offer a discount for customers with four winter tires installed on their vehicles.
4 TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS
These sensors will immediately alert your dash when there is a significant drop in pressure and a tire needs air. For every 5ºC that the temperature drops, your tire pressure also drops.
4 STEEL OR ALLOY RIMS
Winter rims help protect the integrity and finish of your original rims, and extend the life of your tires by minimizing potential damage caused by remounting. You will also save on installation costs during tire changeover.
