Is October a Good Time to Switch to Snow Tires?

[OBentley]

For car owners in northern regions, October is the ideal time to switch to snow tires because the temperature difference between day and night is very significant in the north, and you don't need to wait until it snows to change to snow tires. Principle of Snow Tires: The tread that comes into contact with the road surface uses a special silica-based compound to ensure the tire remains exceptionally soft even at extremely low temperatures, thus providing excellent grip on ice. The tread pattern typically employs a cross-Z-shaped siping technology, which not only enhances braking performance on snow and ice, shortens braking distances, but also delivers optimal traction. Description of Snow Tires: These tires are designed for use in snowy conditions. The rubber tires are equipped with metal studs to increase traction. In colder regions prone to snow accumulation, such as Russia, people use these tires during winter.
