Winter Tires vs. All Season Tires

Winter Tires

• Winter tires stay flexible in temperatures below 7°C to provide the necessary traction for cold-weather driving conditions.
• They reduce braking distance on cold, wet, ice and snow-covered roads in comparison to all-season tires.
• The traction provided by winter tires enhances the performance of anti-lock braking systems (ABS), vehicle stability assist (VSA), traction control and all-wheel drive in winter conditions.
• Industry data shows that in cold weather, a vehicle equipped with winter tires has approximately a 40% less chance of being involved in a collision versus one equipped with all-season tires.
