Winter tires
Putting winter tires on your vehicle:
- improves traction and control in frost, snow and icy conditions
- shortens braking distances by as much as 25%
Check your tires regularly for wear and pressure. Cold weather can bring down your tire pressure, and worn or damaged tires make it harder to drive safely.
