Winter vs. All-Season Tires

Especially when you live in a colder climate, the slicker roads can sometimes get the best of you. One of the many ongoing debates is whether you need winter tires or all-season tires when heading out on the road. We have decided to lay out some facts about each so the best decision can be made when buying the tires for your vehicle.

Winter Tires

• Winter tires can provide better braking performance in snow and ice.
• They are specially made for any type of winter condition, including snow, ice, sleet, slush, wet and cold.
• They can reduce snow build up on the tires due to the aggressive tread.
• Winter tires have special tread rubber that stays flexible at low temperatures.

All-season Tires

• All-season tires are design to help with traction and grip in wet and snow conditions.
• They are made to provide stable driving in both wet and dry conditions.
• They do offer traction in a variety of different weather conditions, though winter tires are more specialized for snow and ice.
