Can Snow Tires Be Used All Year Round?

[PenelopeLynn]

Snow tires are not recommended for year-round use. If used throughout the year, the tires will experience severe wear and result in wastage. Snow tires are equipped with metal studs that enhance traction on snow or ice, but these tires can damage road surfaces and are largely prohibited in most countries. The principle of snow tires is: the tread in contact with the road surface uses a special silicon-based compound to ensure the tire remains exceptionally soft at extremely low temperatures, thus providing excellent ice traction. The tread pattern typically employs cross Z-shaped siping technology, which not only improves braking performance on snow and reduces braking distance but also delivers ideal traction.
