Winter tires ?

It's transition time ! Anyone living in the great white north knows this all to well. This is the time of year when you can go from hero to zero all to fast..... We all know that guy or girl who thinks they can tackle the first snow fall better than anyone else on the road. Sure we have all seen or met this person a time or two, scary right ? I just let them go because my life and the love of my family is far more important. I had used all season tires for a long time before the change, I made to snow tires. This change to snow tires has been one of the best decisions . There has been an incredible difference in the feel and grip I have during winter driving. Keep in mind this won't keep you on the road better if you drive over your head like the hero's we see . If you like the feel of a safe handling vehicle then winter tires are going to serve you very well ! There are many manufactures of winter tires Uniroyal,Michelin, B F Goodrich, Goodyear etc each having their own unique tread design for performance to traction. Check for traction and wear when buying winter tires. Mounting winter tires on steel wheels is a great benefit and makes the change from good weather tires to winter very easy. Yes there is a cost factor in buying winter tires ! But the wear factor on both summer and winter tires makes this a safe and smart investment !!! Staying safe on the road year round is the lesson to be learned .......the comfort you will have from winter tires makes it all worth it. From start to stop , from hero to zero the choice is all yours !
