The Tire Rack team drives on as many of the winter / snow tires we offer as possible. This testing allows us to better understand a tire's ride and noise qualities on the road, and its performance capabilities on the track. Winter tests are completed three different ways. We begin our testing at a local hockey rink. The ice rink is used to provide the ultimate simulation of the icy road conditions that we'll face later in winter. Then, our dry road tests compare three vehicles; one equipped with four all-season tires vs. another with four winter / snow tires vs. yet another with two winter / snow tires on the drive axle and two all-season tires on the other axle. Finally, we compare various all-season and winter / snow tires back-to-back, in the middle of winter, on our 5-1/2 acre test track. Read more in We Know How They Go in Ice and Snow The combined results of all of these tests will help you select the correct tire to meet your winter driving needs. |
