Tips on buying winter tires

When buying tires you should not save on price, and it is a good idea to choose brands from reputable manufacturers.

When purchasing, care must be taken not only of the adequate tire dimension but also of the load index. The speed index applicable to your vehicle is very important too.

For safe driving on ice and snow during the winter season, you should not buy second-hand tires! Their history is usually unknown, and they can very easily endanger traffic safety.

Winter tires have a different profile than summer tires. Their secret is the tread pattern elements called sipes. Each individual block is cut with a special pattern, which provides grip during the drive. They literally bite into the snow surface and allow normal driving.

Their extra deep patterns are capable of dispersing more water, helping to reduce aquaplaning and improve vehicle handling. They are great for adhering to cold roads, whether they are wet, dry, snowy or icy. Better adhesion means better braking and better steering and stability of the vehicle in cold conditions.

By using winter tires, you significantly increase your safety, reduce risks and increase the stability of your vehicle in winter driving conditions.
