Conventional tires aren't optimized for cold winter temperatures. In true winter conditions, they tend to lose much of their traction, and may even leave you stranded.
Every aspect of your vehicle's performance is affected by the strength of its connection to the road.
- Vehicle handling, stopping and safety systems can all perform better with improved traction.
- Winter tires are specifically engineered to help maximize traction on ice- and snow-covered roads, and on wet or dry roads in temperatures below 45°F. Ultrahigh-performance and all-season tires have diminished traction in cold temperatures.[1]
- Increased traction can help you stay on your intended course, stop more safely and avoid trouble.
