Non-M+S tires can be used in winter. However, if the local climate is relatively cold with frequent snow and ice on the roads, it is recommended to choose suitable winter tires for better performance. Introduction to winter tires: Winter tires are designed for snowy conditions. They feature rubber compounds with metal studs to enhance traction, making them ideal for cold regions prone to snow accumulation. Compared to regular tires, winter tires utilize special rubber formulas to increase friction on icy and snowy surfaces. Differences between winter tires and regular tires: Winter tires are specifically engineered for snowy and icy weather. Visually, unlike conventional or unidirectional tires, winter tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns with significantly more grooves. The higher the groove-to-surface ratio, the better the water drainage capability. Winter tires typically have over 1,000 fine grooves, whereas regular tires only have about 200.
