Can one winter tire be different?

[StMariana]

Winter tires cannot have one that is different. The difference between winter tires and regular tires: Winter tires are made of softer material compared to regular tires, allowing them to maintain flexibility in low temperatures. As a result, winter tires provide better traction on snowy and icy roads during winter compared to regular tires. The tread material of winter tires is softer, and their specially formulated silica-mixed rubber compound grips smooth ice surfaces more effectively, generating greater friction than regular tires. This enhances vehicle control and safety on slippery ice surfaces. Regular tires, on the other hand, become harder as temperatures drop. Impact of inconsistent winter tires: It can cause oversteering or brake-induced skidding. If winter tires are only installed on the front wheels, the rear wheels may lack sufficient grip, leading to oversteering or skidding during braking. If winter tires are only installed on the rear wheels, the front wheels may lack sufficient grip, causing steering issues while driving. Therefore, all four tires should be replaced with winter tires, and tires on the same axle must be of the same specification, structure, and tread pattern.
