Winter Tire Considerations

Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle mobility. The use of winter tires improves traction performance in snow and ice but requires special care regarding acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. Vehicle control and safe operation under braking and cornering are especially dependent upon the rear tires in winter driving conditions.

If winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also be installed on the rear. All winter tires applied should have the same speed rating. It is generally acceptable to apply winter tires with a lower speed rating than the Original Equipment/All Season tires for use in winter conditions; however, speed should be reduced accordingly. Vehicles should never exceed the “top speed” of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle.
