Winter Safety Package
DID YOU KNOW? Winter tires are designed to help improve traction and control at temperatures below 7ï‚°C. Tires are made form various rubber compounds, which respond differently depending on temperature - that's why the advantages of winter tires begin even before the temperature hits the freezing mark.
As the temperature falls, the rubber in summer and all-season tires begins to lose the flexibility to grip the road, which can result in reduced braking, acceleration and handling.
Winter tires do the opposite - as the temperature drops below 7ï‚°C, the softer rubber compounds in winter tires help grip road surfaces, thus increasing traction and control and your chances of having a stress-free drive.
Watch for falling temperatures, not just falling snow!
