Do’s and Don’ts of Buying The Best Studded Tires

Buying the best studded tires for your vehicle can be a little tricky if you have never bought this type of tires in the past. You should not confuse these tires with non-studded or studless winter tires that are also designed to be used during the cold season. One of the features that distinguish the studded winter tires from the non-studded ones is the metal studs. The studs are simply metal cleats that are embedded into the tread pattern of the studded tires. They dig into ice and snow and improve acceleration and braking in the wintry conditions.

  2. Do’s and Don’ts of Buying The Best Studded Tires  Buying the best studded tires for your vehicle can be a little tricky if you have never bought this type of tires in the past. You should not confuse these tires with non-studded or studless winter tires that are also designed to be used during the cold season. One of the features that distinguish the studded winter tires from the non- studded ones is the metal studs. The studs are simply metal cleats that are embedded into the tread pattern of the studded tires. They dig into ice and snow and improve acceleration and braking in the wintry conditions.

  3. Do’s and Don’ts of Buying The Best Studded Tires  One of the critical things that you should do when before you buy studded tires is to check them. Both used and new studded winter tires will have a three-peak mountain snowflake symbol. This symbol shows that these tires have been tested and proven to work well in the cold winter conditions. If you don’t see this symbol on the tire you want to buy, simply skip it and look for another tire elsewhere.

During your research, make sure that you read all codes on the sidewall of the tires and check reviews that have been left on them online. The codes can help you determine the speed of the tire tread wear, its age, size and maximum load as well as the temperature that it can withstand. From the reviews that you will read online, you can tell whether people that have used the tires were satisfied or not.

  5. Do’s and Don’ts of Buying The Best Studded Tires  Let us now look at the things you should not do when buying used studded tires. The first one is buying only one or two studded tires to use with all-season or summer tires. This is not recommended because you will not be able to get the best performance from your vehicle on the wintry roads. You should also avoid waiting until the winter season kicks in to buy the studded tires. It is a good idea to purchase them in fall to have them ready before the winter weather comes.
