You've heard of "winterizing" your car -- preparing it for the frigid temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions we experience here in Madison, WI. One of the most well-known practices is switching over to snow tires. But do you really need winter tires?
In short, yes. Regardless of the body style, traction management systems, and drive line of your vehicle, all-season and summer tires are not designed to travel in the harsh winter conditions we see here in Wisconsin. Even if you have an all-wheel-drive (AWD) Subaru, your car or crossover's surefootedness is only guaranteed with winter tires. In fact, studies have shown that a two-wheel-drive vehicle running on snow tires can provide more traction and stability over something with AWD but without snow tires.
Snow tires are designed to excel at temperatures below 45 degrees. Their tread design and compounds are specifically engineered to provide more traction on cold, wet and cold, dry roads. They channel snow and slush away from the tire's surface for superior grip when the going gets tough.
Whatever your winterization needs, we can take care of it all here at Don Miller Subaru West.
