During the winter season, your tires are a critical component of your vehicle. They can make the difference between a safe or a slippery drive. Zeigler Subaru of Schererville is outlining why you should consider getting winter tires for your vehicle.
Unique Design
Winter tires are specially designed with slick roads in mind. They’re composed of a softer rubber compound, which makes them more flexible in cold temperatures, so they don’t stiffen and lose their grip like other tires can. Their special tread design features deeper grooves and has tiny slits that open as they contact the road, which increases your traction and helps to clear away water and slush from your tires.
Safer Traveling
Your safety is, of course, the main reason you should consider winter tires. By enhancing your grip, winter tires can help you stay in control – and on the road – on slick or icy streets. They also help you stop faster, which can help you avoid sliding into other vehicles or obstacles on the road.
Preserve Your Vehicle
You can also help protect your vehicle by utilizing winter tires. For starters, other tires often struggle to keep their grip on the road. This requires them to use much more force than necessary, which can lead to premature wear and seriously shorten your tires’ lifespans. Plus, without the help of good tires, you're putting more strain on your brakes. You also run the risk of losing control completely and getting into an accident.
