How Do Snow Tires Help in the Winter?

With winter finally in full swing up here in Green Bay, drivers should be more cautious than ever when driving through snow and ice. Take it slow and of course, switch your tires over to snow tires. A must-have for winter driving, snow tires are essential to staying safe on the road when the weather isn’t ideal.

Though your all-season tires come with the long tread life you need for daily driving, they don’t have the same traction abilities you get with snow tires, meaning they’re much more prone to slipping and sliding on ice, snow and even just water.

Designed to offer the traction and security that regular tires lack, snow tires feature a unique soft rubber compound not found in regular tires that allow them to stay flexible even when it’s freezing out. This allows them to continue to conform to the road, offering better traction. They also come with different tread patterns from normal tires, that have wider grooves that let them grip snow and ice, as well as let water drain more easily.
