If you’re wondering what the best tires are for snowy winter driving, talk with the York tire specialists at the South Queen Street Meineke.
No doubts about it – winter weather has arrived with the possibility of snow in central Pennsylvania today. And, if you haven’t decided whether to change your tires from summer or all season to winter or snow tires, now’s the time. Because you want to decide before the roads become slippery and hazardous.
“Any day now, a few million drivers will make their vehicles safer in a way most Americans never consider — by switching to winter tires. It costs money. But less than most people expect. And the difference in steering, accelerating and braking is enough that drivers in many parts of the world wouldn’t consider trusting the same tires during different seasons” autos.yahoo.com says.
What the Difference?
Autos.yahoo.com quotes one expert as saying the “difference a winter tire makes is almost unimaginable,” and explains: “‘There’s no comparison of braking distance. And not just on ice and snow, but also on wet, cold and slippery surfaces.’
“Part of the difference is obvious: Winter tires, sometimes called snow tires, have different tread patterns. And like an iceberg, 90% of the substance is hidden under the surface. Because winter tires are made of rubber compounds created to improve traction at low temperatures. So the tread’s ability to grip snow or disperse water is almost beside the point.”
Autos.yahoo.com notes that “winter tires are mandatory in parts of Europe, recommended throughout Canada and required in Quebec.”
