Reasons
to get
winter
tires for
your car
• They have unique treads
– As compared to the normal treads, the winter
tire treads are larger and wider. This makes the
difference with regards to performance. The
treads are basically used to wick the moisture
away from the main point of contact with the
tires, hence enhancing control. The treads also
enable the vehicle to move through slick
surfaces while maintaining traction because
they are able to grip through the ice and snow.
• Offer easier and safer braking
– Imagine how hard it is to start up a vehicle in
slick conditions. Now, think about how hard
stopping a vehicle can be in such conditions.
Winter tires offer the perfect solution. Studies
claim that installing winter tires can actually
reduce stopping distances by 37%, viably
decreasing your chances of having an accident.
