How Long Do Snow Tires Last?

[BrandonFitz]

Snow tires generally have a lifespan of 3-4 years or 50,000-60,000 kilometers. Here is some extended information about snow tires: Classification: Based on road anti-skid performance, winter tires are divided into three types: serrated surface tires, snow tires, and studded tires. Advantages: Snow tires use a special compound to increase friction with snow and ice surfaces. Their benefits include improved traction and safety on snow and ice. The tread material of snow tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for tighter contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires, thereby enhancing vehicle control and safety on slippery ice. Tread: Snow tires have more fine grooves on the tread, which enhances grip on snowy surfaces and facilitates easier water drainage in wet or rainy conditions, reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
