Winter Tires Make a Difference
YES!
About us
Yes! Winter tires are specifically designed for cold temperatures.
The tread pattern pushes snow and ice away, and it is deeper for better traction. Plus the compound of winter tires is engineered to stay flexible when the mercury dips (this is also why you take them off in the summer as they wear quickly in the heat).
Yes! It makes a difference in braking.
For all the reasons behind their design…
- rubber (remains flexible in sub-zero temperatures)
- tread depth (deeper is more effective)
- tread pattern (channels to direct away snow and slush)
- edges that bite (provides traction)
…winter tires have shorter stopping distances on snow and ice. That’s real-world better control and safer driving.

Yes! It might even make sense in your wallet.
Talk to your insurance agent about reduced rates when you switch to proper tire planning.
Yes! Proper storage will extend the life of your tires.
What they want is to be clean and stored in a clean, cool, well-ventilated location, off the ground and away from light and heat sources, and motors that may emit ozone (for example generators, central vacuums, sump pumps, battery chargers). A waterproof opaque covering (with holes to ensure no moisture build-up) will help avoid sunlight and heat.
