Snow And Ice Mean It's Time For Winter Tires

Whether you love or hate the snow and cooler temperatures that come with the winter season, you still must prepare your vehicle for the inclement weather that is inevitably going to come. The best way to do this? Change to winter tires.

Winter tires are designed specifically for snow and ice. They are made with a softer rubber, to allow for better flexibility when the temperature goes below freezing, and contain much deeper threads that are created to provide you with considerably better traction on the winter weather-covered roads.

Are Winter Tires Better Than All-Seasons?

All-seasons are great if you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of snow, but if you reside in an area, like Pittsburgh, PA, that can receive substantial amounts of the flaky white stuff, then, yes, you should have snow tires. Let's put it this way: winter tires are like boots, summer tires are like flip-flops, and all-season tires are like sneakers. You can wear sneakers in every season, but would you want to wear them in deep snow or on a sandy beach? The same thing applies to all-season tires. You can get by with all-seasons, but it's better to have winter tires for those snowy months.
