The characteristics that make a winter tire safer during the bad season

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

In this video, we see why in winter, tires dedicated to this season really make a difference in terms of safety. The first thing to consider is the temperatures of the area where you live, because when the temperature drops below 7°C, winter tires have greater grip. Winter tires should be mounted on all four wheels and not just on those with traction: it is a matter of safety, as the video shows, even if the law does not prohibit it. But what is the difference between winter tires and summer tires? It is a difference in compound, tread, and structure. Winter tires are softer, so they can better handle low temperatures. In addition, the tread is thicker, and there are many small sipes on the blocks that grip the snow, and lateral grooves that allow water to flow in large quantities, and the reinforced carcass allows for greater shoulder stiffness.
