The importance of winter snow tires in upstate New York

When temperatures drop below freezing and the snow starts falling on New York highways, it will be essential to have winter tires on your used car, truck or SUV from our dealership. Winter roads can give you anything from heavy snowfall to black ice and that means you’re driving over treacherous surfaces. In winter, the tires on your vehicle are more important than at any other time of the year. The right snow tires can help you handle ice, snow and freezing temperatures much more capably than other kinds of tires.

Why all-season tires aren’t adequate for New York winters

All-season tires can work well enough for moderate temperatures but they’re engineered with a number of compromises in order to give you good performance in a wide variety of weather conditions. That’s why all-season tires can’t take on extreme winter challenges like traveling through snow or ice around Utica or Rome NY. All-season tires are a lot like all-purpose tennis shoes. They work well enough for a good part of the year but when the snow falls and ice forms, you need good, heavy boots to get you through the winter. That principle applies to the tires on your car: Extreme weather conditions call for well-engineered snow tires.

Some special strengths that make snow tires more effective

One key difference in well-engineered snow tires is the tread rubber. With all-season tires, the tread rubber can get stiff and become less able to give you the traction you need on snowy highways. To address that issue, quality snow tires have tread rubber compounds that help them stay more flexible and that helps good snow tires to get a better grip on the road.

Another benefit of snow tires is that they have deeper tread depths. That means your tires can reduce any snow buildup which helps you get better traction in snow. The tread patterns in snow tires are designed to help channel away snow while expelling water. In addition, winter tires have more biting edges and higher sipe densities. Sipes are the thousands of tiny slits in the tread that give you better traction on snow and ice.

Why you need a full set of snow tires

When we mount winter tires for the cold weather season, we always recommend installing a full set. If you only change the front tires, you increase the risk that the rear tires will skid and that can present a clear hazard for you and your family. If you put snow tires only on the rear wheels, that might cause your front tires to lose traction and make it harder to steer your vehicle.
