Snow Tires For Winter Driving Improve Traction And Safety On Roads: Tires West Jordan

Snow tires for winter driving improve your safety on the road in snow and ice conditions. Albert at Hillside Tire in West Jordan explains why winter snow tires on your car for the winter months help improve your road traction on snow and ice, as well as your safety in winter road conditions.

Snow tires are designed for one purpose -- safe driving in snow and ice road conditions. The tires' material is composed of rubber compounds that increase traction in cold climates with tread patterns that aggressively "bite" into snow packed roads. Conventional, all-season tires don't offer these same features, and are usually not optimized for use in cold, icy weather. These tires are designed primarily for dry conditions and wet-weather driving.

If you need to drive often on ice, and icy roads, you should install metal-studded tires, which are approved for seasonal use in Utah from November 1 through May 31.

Also, check your tire pressure often in cold weather. Tires lose about 1 p.s.i. each time the temperature drops 10 degrees.
