Winter Snow Tires For Winter Driving

There is a lot more performance in a winter tire than you think. The technology has come a long way in tire development.

For example take the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 Tire.

The Blizzak DM-V1 is Bridgestone’s Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice and Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicles looking to combine grip in snow and on ice with reassuring handling on wet roads and in slush.

Another excellent choice is the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 Tire.

The Blizzak LM-60 is Bridgestone’s Performance Winter / Snow tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and luxurious performance sedans that are looking for winter driving traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.

Tread design gives you performance in deep snow. The tread compound gives you performance on ice. Rubber does stick to ice if you can get rid of the water.

The Blizzak gives the ability to grip to snow and ice, giving an excellent winter traction product.

Always remember in winter driving, pick a safe speed for for the conditions. Let the tire do the work that it’s designed to do. You must equip the car with the proper winter tire.

But don’t let the grip of a good winter tire spoil you. Even a good snow tire can do so much. A driver should always skid in a straight line if possible. Learn to manage the weight of the vehicle. It’s all about inertia.

The most common mistake a driver can make is to drive vigorously on a hazardous road.

A driver should constantly monitor the road surface, be aware of the weather, and watch out for change on the road surfaces. The odds are, that if you have ice on your wipers, then it is a great possibility that the roads could be icing.
