When winter rolls around, the roads in New York State can become a challenging terrain for drivers. As temperatures drop and snow begins to fall, ensuring your vehicle is equipped with the right tires becomes essential. This is where winter tires, also known as snow tires, come into play. But what role do they play in ensuring a safer winter drive?
Winter tires are specifically designed to perform optimally in cold weather conditions. Unlike standard all-season tires, they have a soft rubber compound that remains flexible as temperatures drop, better conforming to the road for more controlled handling. This flexibility allows winter tires to maintain better contact with the road surface, providing superior traction, braking, and cornering in all cold weather conditions.
Deeper tread depths in winter tires reduce snow buildup and provide better traction on the snow. Their tread patterns are also designed to channel snow and slush away from the tire surface, further enhancing grip and control.
At our tire centers across NY State, we provide a wide range of winter tires suitable for various vehicles and driving conditions. Whether you're in Latham, East Greenbush, Johnstown, Glens Falls, Queensbury, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Hudson Falls, Greenwich, Waterford, Schenectady, Halfmoon, or Whitehall, our tire shops have got you covered.
