Do I Need to Change to Snow Tires When Driving Back to Northeast China During the New Year?
2 Answers
When driving to Northeast China during the New Year, it is necessary to change to snow tires. Snow tires provide significantly better traction compared to regular summer tires or all-season tires. If you encounter icy roads, without snow tires, the car will basically be unable to move. The most important point is that snow tires help the vehicle achieve the best braking performance on winter roads. Generally, snow tires have a softer texture, so they won’t slip on icy surfaces. Below are some recommended brands for snow tires in Northeast China: 1. Goodyear Tires: Founded in 1898, Goodyear has over 100 years of history and is the world's largest tire manufacturing company. 2. Pirelli Tires: Pirelli is one of the most internationally renowned tire companies, founded in 1872 in Italy. 3. Continental Tires: Continental, founded in 1871 and headquartered in Germany, is the world's third-largest tire manufacturer.
I've been driving for years, and when returning to Northeast China during the Spring Festival, the icy roads are too slippery. Last year, I didn't change to winter tires once and almost had a side-slip accident on an icy road, which scared me a lot. Winter tires are specifically designed for low temperatures and snow, with deeper treads, softer rubber, and better grip, reducing the risk of skidding. In Northeast China, the winter temperatures are low, causing regular tires to harden and significantly increase braking distance, which is very dangerous. I recommend changing to winter tires before driving and having a professional repair shop or 4S store check the tire pressure and overall condition. Don't try to save time or money. Snowstorms are common on highways, and after changing tires, driving becomes much more stable and reassuring.
