Are winter tires the same size as regular tires?

[LaSavannah]

Winter tires and regular tires are the same size. The differences between winter tires and regular tires are: Different tread materials: Winter tires use a special rubber compound that makes the tread softer and provides better contact with the road surface. Regular tires use natural rubber. Different tread patterns: Winter tires have deeper tread grooves and many additional small patterns on the surface. Regular tires have shallower tread patterns compared to winter tires, and cars are typically equipped with regular tires when they leave the factory. Different responses to temperature: Winter tires are made of softer materials than regular tires, making them suitable for use in snowy conditions. They remain relatively soft even in low temperatures. Regular tires tend to harden as the temperature drops.
