It is not okay to not change to snow tires in winter. Below are the classifications and advantages of snow tires: Snow Tire Classifications: Based on anti-slip performance on road surfaces, winter tires are divided into three types: serrated surface tires, snow tires, and studded tires. Advantages of Snow Tires: Snow tires use a special compound to increase friction with icy and snowy roads. Their benefits include improved traction and safety on icy and snowy surfaces. The tread material of snow tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for closer contact with smooth ice, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This enhances the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice surfaces.
