Caution: Don’t Get Stuck In The Ditch This Winter

Make Sure to Change to Winter Tires

All-season tires work well in light-to-moderate snow conditions, but snow tires provide the best winter-weather traction, and ensure safe driving for you and your family. Skilled Swedish Motors technicians will mount and balance your new winter tires before the cold weather hits.

How do you know when to get new tires? Here’s a good rule of thumb: If the winter temperatures where you live are regularly below 45 degrees F, you should invest in new snow tires.

When it comes to buying winter tires here’s the FAQ from Swedish Motors:

• Winter tires are built specifically to perform in winter conditions like low temperatures, ice, slush, sleet and snow.

• Winter tires use special rubber compounds that stay pliable in the cold, giving them better grip and improved braking in severe winter weather conditions.

• Winter tires should only be installed in sets of four.

• Eliminate the risk of sliding off the road this winter with a new set of winter tires.
