WINTER TIRES - ICE & SNOW

Snow tires, also called winter tires, are tires designed for use in snow and ice. They have a special tread design, preserving larger spaces between block and block, than those of summer tires, which increases traction in snow and ice. Unlike summer tires, whose design prioritizes longitudinal channels to maintain control in curves, ice and snow tires, prioritize an arrow-shaped design. In this way, they take advantage of the kinetic and traction forces to expel snow from the grooves and maintain traction while driving.

Tires that have passed a specific winter tensile performance test are entitled to display a "three-pointed mountain snowflake" symbol on their side walls. This mark on the side indicates to the user that they were designed for winter driving conditions at temperatures below 7 ° C (45 ° F).

Some snow tires may include the option of placing metal or ceramic bolts protruding from the tire to increase traction on snow or ice. The basic function of these bolts is to break the ice or adhere to it, so it is important to know that they wear out quickly on the dry pavement, causing dust and creating wear on the wheel path. Regulations that require the use of snow tires or allow the use of bolts vary by country.

At the level of compounds and structure, the most significant variations are given by the compounds used, which are prepared to work at very low temperatures, maintaining flexibility and avoiding crystallization or hardening of the tire, which would remove adhesion. They also include a special silicon, which allows the snow and ice crystals to not adhere to the tire, keeping it clean so that the traction lasts while driving.

Lately the manufacturers of winter tires, have included in their offer the possibility that they are Run Flat. This feature, which allows the tire to continue rolling, even without air pressure, is extremely important in geographical areas where winter is raw.
