Also known as snow tires, winter tires provide enhanced traction in some of the most severe winter weather conditions including ice, slush, and snow when the temperature drops below 7° Celsius. Other reasons you should consider winter tires include:

Design

Most winter tires feature specialized tread compounds and advanced tread designs that help provide superior traction.

Performance

Your vehicle’s starting, stopping and turning abilities ultimately come down to the amount of traction your tires can provide on snow-covered or icy road surfaces.

Security

Even if you have traction control or a four-wheel drive on your vehicle, those features can provide a false sense of security in winter conditions.

Winter Tires Fact

Four winter tires should always be installed for equal traction. Installing only two winter tires can upset the balance of traction and handling of your vehicle.

The Sign Of Confidence

The Mountain Snowflake Symbol located on the sidewall of a tire indicates that the tire meets specific winter traction performance requirements and is best suited for severe winter driving conditions.
