Winter Tire Benefits

Enhanced Safety: Winter tires provide up to 50% better traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires.
Shorter Stopping Distances: Winter tires can reduce stopping distances by 20-30% in cold, snowy, or icy conditions.
Longer Life for All-Season Tires: Using dedicated winter tires extends the life of your regular tires by reducing wear during harsh conditions.
Insurance Benefits: Many insurance companies offer discounts for winter tire use, often between 2-5% off premiums.
Performance in Cold: Winter tires use special rubber compounds that remain flexible below 45°F (7°C), while all-season and summer tires harden and lose grip.

Important Note

Winter tires should be removed when temperatures consistently rise above 45°F (7°C), as their softer compound wears quickly in warmer conditions. Always install winter tires on all four wheels for balanced handling and safety.
