In this blog, we are going to continue our trend of being direct and discuss the differences between snow tires and all-season.
It can be a challenge to decide between snow tires and all-season tires, but each type of tires is designed for a different reason. All-season tires are specifically built to handle a variety of road conditions, including dry and wet roads. The tread on these tires can actually harden in low temperatures, which results in less traction. Snow tires, as the name indicates, are designed to endure winter conditions, such as chilly temperatures, ice, slush, and snow. These tires come with a special rubber that stays supple despite the drop in temperatures.
Many think that if you have all-wheel or four-wheel drive, you don’t need snow tires. However, this is usually not the case. All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive improve traction when you accelerate, but it does not once you step on the brakes. Winter tires improve your vehicle’s overall traction during acceleration, deceleration, and turning.
