What Type of Tire Will You Be
Using This Winter?

By design, all-season tires trade a little dry and wet road traction in moderate and warm temperatures to provide light snow traction in below freezing temperatures (best suited to the 20- to 100-degree Fahrenheit range). Winter tires trade a little dry and wet road handling in moderate and warm temperatures to emphasize wet, ice and snow traction in cold to moderate temperatures (best suited for 0- to 50-degree Fahrenheit range).
In order to get a better understanding of how much ice traction is provided by summer, all-season and winter tire types, members of The Tire Rack Team recently conducted an "Ice Rink Performance Drive" on the glare ice of a skating rink. We compared Bridgestone's Ultra High Performance Summer Potenza RE750 to their Standard Touring All-Season Turanza EL400, as well as to two Blizzak Winter tires, the popular Blizzak WS-50 and the new Blizzak REVO 1.

Studded tires are also banned in some states (including Illinois) and others place restrictions on the dates they can be used, because the studs damage the surface of the pavement.
