Category Performance Averages

Winter tires, commonly referred to as snow tires, are specifically engineered for driving in cold weather, ice, or snow. Providing maximum traction and safety when temperatures drop below 45°F, snow and winter-specific tires use specialized rubber compounds that remain flexible in freezing conditions, delivering superior grip compared to all weather tires and all-season alternatives. The best winter tires feature aggressive tread patterns and sipes specifically built for snow and ice, while studded snow tires can add metal studs for enhanced ice traction in severe conditions.
