Is It Dangerous to Use Snow Tires in Summer?
1 Answers
Using snow tires in summer is possible, but it is not recommended. Snow tires are softer and primarily designed to enhance traction on icy and snowy roads. Since there is no ice or snow in summer, the braking distance will be longer, and the wear will be faster. Differences between snow tires and regular tires: 1. Snow tires are made of silica material, which makes them softer than regular tires even at low temperatures, thus generating greater friction; 2. They feature special tread patterns, unlike regular tires, utilizing cross-Z-shaped siping technology. This not only improves braking performance on snow and ice but also shortens braking distance and provides ideal traction.
