  • Doing everything possible to make sure that you
    are safe on the road is very important if you are
    a vehicle owner. When winter comes, you should
    look for good winter tires that can hold up well
    on the streets that you drive on day after day.
    Using summer tires during this season is a bad
    idea, since these tires are not built for icy
    weather conditions, and they may put your life at
    risk. Winter tires have unique tread compounds
    that increase their traction on wintry roads.

How To Get The Most Out of Winter Tires
  • When you buy right winter tires for your vehicle,
    you need to know what to do to get the most out
    of them. The first thing you should do is make
    sure that you understand the laws related to
    winter tires in your area. In some states,
    studded winter tires are only permitted to be
    used during specific periods of the year. That is
    why it is critical to know the laws about the use
    of these tires especially if you are planning to
    embark on a trip across provincial or state
    lines.

  • Another thing you should do to get the most out
    of your winter tires is to ensure that they are
    correctly inflated. You need to take this
    seriously especially with tires that have metal
    studs. If they are under-inflated, lack of air in
    their cavity can cause them to be deformed or
    even cause the studs to lose their stiffness.
    Driving a vehicle that is not inflated correctly
    will lead to impaired traction.

How To Get The Most Out of Winter Tires
  • Some people install the winter tires only on the
    rear set or front set of wheels depending on the
    vehicles drivetrain. Even though doing this may
    seem cost-effective, it may end up causing
    problems when you are driving on the road.
    Running winter tires on only one axle of your
    vehicle can cause the wheels to have different
    levels of traction, something that may in turn
    result into malfunctioning of the brake systems
    and other problems. For instance, when you
    install winter tires on the front wheels only,
    the rear tires can lose traction in corners and
    cause very dangerous fishtailing.
