Why Winter Tires Make a Difference
Winter doesn't hold back in Massachusetts, so it's important to make sure that your car is prepared for what the coldest months of the year have in store. So, why are snow tires the way to go? Snow tires are made of a softer rubber compound that makes them more flexible in cold weather. Greater flexibility in the cold means that they are better at gaining traction on cold pavement. They also have deeper, wider tread patterns than other types of tires, which makes them better suited for driving on snowy surfaces.
Why You Shouldn't Drive on Snow Tires Year-Round
If snow tires are so good at handling winter around Sudbury, MA and Marlborough, MA, the temptation might be to just leave them on all year. We do not recommend this because the softer rubber compound that makes snow tires more flexible in the cold also makes them more susceptible to wearing down rapidly when the weather warms up. Thus, if you drive around Westborough, MA during the warmer months of the year with snow tires still on your vehicle, you will likely find yourself needing to replace your snow tires sooner than you expected.
