Winter tires are specially engineered to provide superior traction, safety, and control in harsh winter conditions where snow, ice, and slush are common. Unlike all-season tires, they feature a softer rubber compound that stays flexible even at freezing temperatures, ensuring consistent grip on icy and snowy roads. Their tread patterns are deeper and more aggressive, with numerous grooves and sipes that bite into snow and disperse slush, significantly reducing the risk of slipping. Most winter tires carry the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol, certifying their compliance with severe snow service requirements. Available in sizes ranging from 155mm to 285mm widths and rim diameters of 13–20 inches, they can be fitted on a wide variety of passenger cars, hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs. While their rolling resistance is slightly higher, causing a minor drop in fuel efficiency compared to all-season tires, their safety benefits in winter far outweigh this drawback. With tread depths averaging 10–12/32 inch and mileage warranties of 30,000–50,000 km, they are designed for seasonal use and should be swapped out when temperatures rise above 10°C to prevent premature wear. Offering unmatched confidence and control in cold-weather driving, winter tires are essential for drivers in regions with heavy snowfalls and icy roads.
