Is October too early to switch to snow tires?
1 Answers
If it snows in October, you can switch to snow tires. Here's an introduction to snow tires: Classification of snow tires: Based on road anti-skid performance, winter tires are divided into three specifications: serrated surface tires, snow tires, and studded tires. Advantages of snow tires: Snow tires use a special formula to increase friction with snow and ice surfaces. Their benefits include improved passability and safety on snow and ice roads. 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. Snow tire tread: Snow tires have more fine tread patterns, which enhance grip on snow-covered roads and facilitate easier water drainage in wet or rainy conditions, reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
