Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

To optimize outdoor activities this winter season, make sure you are equipped with the right tires for snowy conditions. What makes a tire a “snow” tire? – Snow tires are identified from its lugs, tread design, and flotation.

  • Lugs: Snow tire lugs are dimpled and or siped which creates additional biting edges for increased traction.
  • Tread Design:  Its tread design is positioned with large spacing in-between the lugs to help disperse snow and slush.
  • Flotation: Tire flotation is extremely important when handling loose sediment. To minimize ground disturbance, snow tires tend to stay afloat – keeping you from sinking.
