Every year before Halloween, when we change the dial on our car's radio and come across a station playing Christmas music, we know winter is on its way.
Then, once the freezing rain, sleet and snow actually starts to fall, we are quickly reminded how to drive during winter all over again. Even so, there are some drivers on these winter weather road conditions who drive like it is still summer.
To help you stay safe behind the wheel and make this winter season as safe as possible, these are the things everyone truly needs to remember:
- A full set of winter tires is the way to go. Winter tires give drivers the extra traction, braking and handling on snow and ice. A more flexible winter tire tread surface equals more traction and control.
- When cold weather is here, check your tire pressure. Over time, a little air always escapes and with our busy lives drivers often neglect checking tire pressure.
- Tread depth matters. Winter grip slips on worn tires. Check your tire tread depth and pressure.
- Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Don't tailgate.
- Remain calm and stay safe on icy and snowy roads.
To shop for a set of winter / snow tires for this winter season, shop by vehicle, tire brand or size to find the right tire options, that works best for your car.
Here is a list of great winter / snow tires to give your truck or SUV an edge this winter.
Mastercraft Courser MSR is a premium winter SUV and light truck tire designed for drivers seeking excellent traction on snow or ice.
Toyo Observe Open Country G-02 PLUS is one of Toyo's top winter tires designed with an aggressive unidirectional tread pattern for superior performance in extreme snow and ice conditions. This tire is perfect to handle Michigan, Ohio and Ontario Canada's most cruel winters and harsh snowy and icy road conditions.
Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 stands out from other winter tires due to its versatility. This tire is more flexible to changes in conditions thanks to Bridgestone's new Tube Multi-Cell and NanoPro-Tech rubber compound help improve snow, ice, wet and dry performance.
