SNOW & WINTER TIRES
Browse Wheel Works for top-performing winter tires and navigating icy weather and snowy roads with confidence.
DRIVE CONFIDENTLY WITH TIRES FOR WINTER
Winter weather comes with plenty of hazards. Be prepared with winter tires (also called snow tires) that provide extra traction driving on the snow, slush, and ice.
BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK TIRES
Bridgestone Blizzak tires are engineered for enhanced grip, so your vehicle has the traction it needs on slick winter roads.
FIRESTONE WINTERFORCE TIRES
Choose tires designed for winter performance like Firestone Winterforce tires with reliable braking on snow and slush.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING WINTER TIRES
All-season tires are versatile for year-round use, but when it comes to snow and ice, winter tires provide elevated performance. Discover the advantages of winter tires for colder conditions. Switching to a set of winter tires for snowy and icy weather can help you maintain a peace of mind on the road during winter’s worst. Your vehicle’s manufacturer may have recommendations on how to install winter tires, but generally it’s best to use them across all wheel positions and not just as front tires.
Know these facts about winter tires before installing them on your vehicle:
- Install in all positions: Use a full set of winter tires to help improve control.
- Uniformity: Use the same winter tire type on front and back axles to help improve operations for passenger cars and light trucks as well as front wheel drive, 4x4, and all-wheel-drive vehicles.
- Speed ratings: You can use winter tires with a lower speed rating than your standard tires as long as you take care to avoid exceeding the lower speed rating when you drive.
- Temperature: Do not drive winter tires in warm weather because it can cause your winter tire tread to wear more quickly.
- Studded winter tires: Follow the same usage recommendations listed above, but be aware these tires may have additional seasonal restrictions. Consult with a qualified tire service professional before installing and using specialty tires like studded winter tires.
When winter doesn’t quit, the right set of tires is essential to see you through its worst. With the right care and storage, tires for winter can last you several seasons.
Benefits of Winter Tires
SECURE ON WINTER ROADS
Tires for winter are made with rubber compounds that maintain flexibility in cold temperatures which can help your vehicle grip icy or snowy roads.
ROBUST TREAD DESIGN
Winter tires feature deep treads and multiple grooves channeling away slush and snow for better control and overall traction.
GRIPS BETTER ON ICE
Winter tires have specialty cross-hatched sipes and biting edges along the tire tread to help increase grip on icy roads.
