When winter arrives, it brings with it snow, ice, and slick roads. It used to be, you would have to put chains on your tires to get the proper traction when bad weather broke out. Today they make special winter tires that provide the traction you need on snow and ice without the use of chains. However, these tires are specifically for winter conditions. The traction rate on dry road goes down drastically so you may consider changing your tires seasonally to provide the traction you need year round.

The Eagle Grip GW-2 from Good Year is a high performance tire that offers optimum traction for driving on ice or snow. These tires are only rated a 7 for driving on dry roads but they are rated 10 for snow traction and 8 for rain and ice. These tires could be used year round and eliminates the need for seasonal changing.

Michelin X-Ice tire series is the best ice traction tire out there. It provides gripping on ice like no other. The design of the tires cross Z sipes provide the grip needed to drive on ice with confidence. They offer better control on snow with increased take off and handling. The tires come in different sizes to fit every car from luxury sedan to a SUV and a truck.

Bridgestone offers more snow tires than ice. The Firestone Winterforce tires are made for snow traction. They do provide enhanced control on wet and icy roads but they boast better grip in the snow. If you live in a climate that gets mainly snow, these are the tires for you.

All of the tires listed above are specifically formulated for winter weather. They are designed with slopes and studded to provide extra gripping in any winter condition. Without winter tires on your vehicle, you will be more likely to slide and lose control of your car on wet and icy roads. Even if you have a four wheel drive car, it will not help you to stop on the ice or snow if you don’t have the proper winter tires.
