Winter / Snow Tires
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.
Performance Winter and Snow tires combine cold-weather traction with responsive handling for enthusiasts who want winter performance without sacrificing a comfortable on-road feel.
Light Truck & SUV Performance Snow tires are designed for enthusiasts desiring dependable winter traction with enhanced handling for when cold weather hits.
Light Truck & SUV Studdable Snow tires are built for drivers who face severe winter weather conditions and need reliable traction on snow- and ice-covered roads.
From Our Test Track
All-Season vs. Winter Tires: Is All-Wheel Drive Enough?03:20
Even if your vehicle has four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, it's your tires that provide the real traction. The more tire traction these systems have to work with the better. Take a look at how this plays out on the bare ice of a hockey rink in all-season vs. winter/snow tires.
