Are Snow Tires Useful?

[VonKate]

Snow tires do serve a purpose. For instance, switching to snow tires on wet or snowy roads can noticeably improve traction for drivers. However, this doesn't mean they provide excellent anti-skid performance on truly snow-covered surfaces. In particularly severe weather conditions, snow tires may still be unsafe for driving. Snow tires are suitable for use on icy and snowy winter roads as well as regular roads, ensuring driving safety. As winter temperatures drop, rubber hardens, but the special rubber compound used in winter tires maintains elasticity in low temperatures. Winter tires are designed exclusively for winter use and offer better traction on snowy and icy roads compared to summer tires.
