I don't need winter tires. Or do I?
There really is no question about it. A resounding "yes" is what you'll hear from us. And even if you drive an SUV with four wheel-drive, traction control and ABS you STILL DO need winter tires.
Why?
Most importantly, traction by design. These aren't your father's noisy snow tires from winters past. The experts at The Tire Rack tell us these are performance tires with rubber compounds and tread patterns painstakingly developed to be the best for snowy and icy roads. So don't be fooled (or falsely comforted) by your vehicle's four wheel-drive, traction control or ABS….those systems don't provide the added traction you need in winter…your tires do. These systems only make it easier to utilize your tire's full potential and are only capable of controlling your vehicle's acceleration, braking and cornering based on the traction provided by your tires. That's what you need to know but you can read all the details here on The Tire Rack's website.
So, add Winter Tire & Wheel Packages from The Tire Rack to your winter maintenance checklist. We like the fact that they're convenient and cost-effective. But more than anything, we like that we get the added traction we need without sacrificing style (attractive, affordable, alloy wheel options are available for winter as well as functional steel wheels and wheel covers) or performance! You will, too.
Smart. Convenient. Cost-Effective.
"Smart" because you'll drive through winter's worst on winter's best. Bridgestone's Blizzak ice tires were tested by The Tire Rack at an ice rink and they came through with flying colors. If they help to easily maneuver a vehicle on freshly polished ice, you can bet they'll keep you safely on the road!
"Convenient" because you'll have a professionally mounted (using the best in touchless equipment) and balanced set of winter tires and wheels in your garage ready to install yourself right when you need them (detailed installation instructions are included as well as all necessary lug hardware, center caps, centering rings, etc.). Take off your summer package and bolt-on your winter.
"Cost-effective" because the packages pay for themselves in more ways than one. You won't be paying your local garage to dismount your summer tires and mount your winter tires every year (then vice versa in the spring). You can put that savings toward a Winter Tire & Wheel Package. Think, too, about the fact that your expensive alloy wheels are spared from the salt used on winter roads and your performance tires take a break and save their tread for the roads they're best on.
More About The Tire Rack's Tire & Wheel Packages
Smooth-rolling tires and wheels can be the difference between a vibration-free drive or a shaky one. If tire and wheel tolerances are not examined and corrected, the possibility of a balance or road force-induced ride vibration exists. Because of this, all Tire & Wheel Packages won’t ship from The Tire Rack until they’re Hunter-Balanced and Road Force(TM) approved! You can get the technical low down, here.
