Designed for Cold Weather 

Unlike all-season tires, winter tires are made specifically for use during the cold weather months. Designed for optimal performance in sub-zero temperatures, and on roadways covered in snow, sleet and ice, winter tires excel in conditions where summer and all-season tires may find difficulty traversing.  

• Unique Tread Patterns: designed to maintain adequate grip on a variety of road conditions, the unique tread patterns of winter tires allow for enhanced on-road traction. 
• Specialized Rubber Compounds: winter tires are manufactured using a unique blend of rubber compounds that are engineered to remain soft and malleable in temperature below 7-degrees Celsius.
• Enhanced Handling: as winter tires are able to withstand cold temperatures and maintain traction on slippery surfaces, another added benefit is their enhanced handling and control.

Shorter Stopping Distance 

As a result of their unique development process, winter tires have been shown to reduce stopping distances by over 30% when compared to conventional all-season tires. This decreased stopping distance has the potential to be the difference between avoiding or being involved in an accident.

Long-Term Cost Savings

A high-quality set of winter tires are a worthwhile investment, as although they may come with a considerable initial cost, they offer benefits that prove to be invaluable in the long-term. Not only can you receive a discount on their insurance premiums by equipping their vehicle with winter tires, they also reduce the wear and tear on your all-season tires, increasing their overall usable life.
