Winter is just around the corner, and it's time to start thinking about your Chevrolet's winter readiness. One of the best things you can do for your vehicle is to install a set of winter tires. To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions about winter tires.
When Should I Install Winter Tires on My Chevrolet, GMC, or Buick Vehicle?
As the temperature drops below 7°C, summer and all-season tires get harder, reducing their traction and handling capabilities on the road. This makes it difficult to control your Chevrolet in colder conditions and poses a higher risk of accidents. Therefore, we recommend installing winter tires as early as October or when the temperature starts to drop regularly below 7°C.
Do I Need to Replace My Tires Every Year?
No, you don't need to replace your winter tires every year. However, you need to ensure they're in good condition and have enough tread depth to provide sufficient traction. A minimum of 4.8 mm of tread depth is needed to ensure excellent winter handling, and anything below that needs replacement.
What Are the Benefits of Winter Tires?
Winter tires deliver better performance and safety than all-season tires in cold temperatures. They have softer rubber compounds that stay more pliable in low temperatures and unique tread patterns that provide improved traction. Some benefits of winter tires include:
Increased Traction: Winter tires offer increased traction, allowing you to brake and accelerate better, traverse through snow, and prevent skids.
Improved Braking: Winter tires can stop your car on slippery roads in less distance than all-season tires.
Better Handling: The unique tread designs of winter tires provide better handling during turns, especially on icy and snowy roads.
