It may seem silly to ask, but it is necessary regardless. Because when the winter season comes it’ll be “how fast can I get snow tires? Where can I get snow tires?” and closely related questions.
Putting it in simpler terms, let’s say for instance you have a yearly budget to buy shoes for every season of the year. Even if you forget along the line to get shoes for summer, that can never be the case during the winter season. Because it’s cold and slippery outside, you’d require shoes that will protect you from the cold as well as have a firm grip while walking.
This is the same reason why you need snow tires for the winter season. It’s never too late or too early to begin preparing for winter. However, bear in mind that your car needs an upgrade or two plus additional daily maintenance to get it through the winter season
What’s all the fuss about snow tires
Winter tires are one of the most important things to get for the safety of your car. You might be wondering what the fuss is all about and why it is necessary to get winter tires. Here’s why: Apart from the slippery road caused by the snow, did you know that your tires will get hard because of the cold? Using an all-season tire or a summer tire during the winter season, the chances of an accident occurring is very high.
On the contrary, using winter tires is best for the season because it stays soft no matter the temperature. They are designed uniquely to function in extremely cold conditions, snow, ice, and slush. A-protect warranty advises drivers and car owners to purchase winter tires, as it will benefit you significantly. It has quite a good grip on wet slippery roads. Studies show that accidents are more likely to happen with the usual all-season tires or summer tires during the winter.
Aren’t they expensive?
Yes, winter tires are more expensive when compared to the usual all-season and winter tires. However, you end up getting your monies worth no doubt. If you refuse to buy winter tires, you are literally putting your life and that of your loved ones at risk by driving with an all-season tire or winter tire. If there be any case of accidents, A-protect warranty cooperation is always available to offer coverage for your car. However, for this to happen, you’d need to purchase our extended car warranty to make sure the safety of your car is in good hands.
But of course, accidents are the last things anybody needs now and especially during winter, but you should have a backup plan for unexpected events. This is where an extended car warranty comes in handy for you.
Can I use winter tires all year
No, using winters tires for all seasons is not recommended and would cost you more money on maintenance. Winter tires wear off faster than the usual all-season tire. And because it was uniquely produced for cold temperatures, it’s best to use them for that period alone. However, you can use your winter tire four times in a row for every winter season if you do the proper maintenance of your tires.
Many drivers try to save costs by installing just two winter tires instead of four. This is very wrong and should be avoided at all costs, the tendency of an accident occurring would be about 100%.
Conclusion
Getting winter tires when its winter season is very important. But the final advice remains to stay at home, avoid driving in the snow because, at the end of the day, winter tires are not entirely your savior from accidents happening.
