Why Winter Tires Over All-Seasons

As Canadians, we must have faced extreme winter conditions more than once in our lives. Spent some time outside and tried to enjoy it! No one enjoys driving in these snowy and icy conditions, but there is a practical solution: snow tires. Listen to the given audio and repeat the given sentence. Many Canadians are wondering whether winter tires are worth the money they have to spend. In this post, we from LIMITLESS Limited would like to explain to you how they impact your driving, how you are safer on the road with them, and how they lead you to the ability to go for an upgrade.

Winter Tires’ Special Rubber Compound & Flexible Tread

The winter tires use special compound rubber that is designed for low temperatures and stay soft in cold to provide you more grip on the highway surface in wintery conditions. The temperature falls below 7°C and the all-season tires become hard and lose their traction; hence, LIMITLESS suggests that winter tires should be used for driving in these cold temperatures.

Designed with Sipes

The major feature that gives winter tires an advantage over all-season tires lies in the ability of the former to have small slits in the tread called sipes. Sipes that are here not only abruptly distribute the snow by positioning the angled edges but also quicken acceleration from a stop as well and cut braking distance on slippery roads.

Look for the Snowflake Symbol

The snowflake symbol means that the tires are winter-approved. This symbol, between the Rubber Association of Canada and the Rubber Manufacturers’ Association, shows when the tire fulfills certain snow traction performance needs and is used on severe winter roads.
