ALL ABOUT SNOW TIRES
When it comes to driving through winter
weather, your tires are the ones that take the
brunt of the punishment. But you can arm your
tires to make sure you reach your destination
safely – even in the snow.
SNOW
Many car-makers and repair technicians
recommend mounting snow tires to your
vehicle before the winter driving season. These
specially designed tires are made to help you
trek through the snow – even in areas of heavy
accumulation.
If you choose to go down this route, be sure
to splurge on all four tires. Your alignment can
be thrown off if you drive on two standard and
two snow tires, and that can cause bigger
problems for your vehicle down the road.
And keep your standard tires handy. Once
the winter lets up, you’ll be happy to get them
back on your vehicle to improve your fuel
efficiency and overall handling.
ALL-SEASON TIRES
Another option is all-season tires that you
drive year-round – winter and summer. This
will help you avoid having to remember to
change your tires before the winter weather or
needing to store two sets of rims.
While all-season tires are more effective
than a standard tire, you won’t get the full
advantage of having specialized snow tires on
your vehicle. These tires are designed specifi-
cally to help drivers blast through snow and
are tested vigorously for this purpose.
TIRE TYPE & TREAD
Snow tires are the recommended options in
areas with heavy winter weather. But you may
still decide to stick with your regular tires for
price or convenience purposes. If you do, be
sure to check the tread depth of your tires.
Replace any tire that has less than 3/32 inches
of tread, the American Automobile Association
stated.
