Water, slush, snow and salt need to be controlled and pumped out from underneath the tire through intricate channels while the softer rubber can mold and grip the road surface, despite low temperatures. It’s why best mud and snow tires look so much more extreme in design than summer or all-season tires.
Every pro driver will tell you a car is only as good as its tires. Which is why winter weather is the ultimate test of a tire. Think of winter tires in the season 2019 – 2020 as an investment in traction and peace of mind!
