Why should you change to Winter Tires?
The rubber used for winter tires works best at 7°C or below
Winter tires are made from a softer rubber compound compared to summer or even all-season tires. Harder rubber compounds get even harder in cold temperatures, so they lose their traction and ability to ‘stick’ to the pavement (which also hardens considerably in the cold). The magic number where winter tires grip better than all-seasons is, you guessed it, 7 degrees Celsius. Below that temperature, summer tires are basically frozen pucks on the ice, while winter tires are cleats on boots.
Why should you change to All-Season or Summer Tires?
The rubber used for all-season and summer tires work best above 7°C
Driving on winter tires when the temperatures begin to rise can be destructive to them. Winter tires are designed to perform best during colder temperatures, not when the asphalt is baked from the summer sun. It’s not only unsafe, but it will also cause the winter tires to degrade faster. Therefore, it’s imperative to change back to your all-season or dedicated summer tires at the right time.
