Do I need snow tires or all-season tires?

This is a question we often hear from our customers.  To help answer that question we need to have a better understanding of your winter driving needs.

Whether you need snow tires or all-season tires depends on several factors:

Your local climate: If you live in an area with harsh winters, frequent snowfall, and icy roads, snow tires are a safer choice. All-season tires can handle some snow but may struggle in extreme conditions.  

Your driving habits: If you frequently drive in snowy or icy conditions, snow tires are essential. If you only experience occasional snowfall, all-season tires might suffice.  

Your vehicle: Some vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, have better traction naturally and may be able to handle all-season tires even in snowy conditions. However, for optimal performance, snow tires are still recommended.

If you must go in the snow:  There are many people whose job requires them to be there.  If you have a job that is essential to the safety and wellbeing of others, then studded snows are the ultimate winter tire..

Here's a general guideline:

• Severe winter conditions: Snow tires are recommended.  
• Moderate winter conditions: All-season tires may be sufficient, but snow tires offer superior performance.
• Mild winter conditions: All-season tires should be adequate.  

Remember: The best way to determine which type of tire is right for you is to consult with a tire professional or check your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.
