Are your Tires Ready for Winter?

Your winter tires are not designed just for snow – they provide increased traction in cold conditions too. Make the switch to winter tires when the temperature hits 45 degrees. Take care of your tires during winter and they will take care of you.

In winter regions, it is recommended  that drivers switch to winter tires when the temperature dips below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature drops below that level, so does an all-season tire’s ability to grip the road.

Many cars in the U.S. have all-season tires, but they aren’t built to hold the road in the same way that winter tires do. Winter tires are specifically built to deliver a 25 to 50 percent increase in traction over all-season radials. That’s enough added traction and braking power to avoid a severe weather-related accident.

Check your tires, including the spare. The  benefits far outweigh the time it takes.
