What are the Benefits of Winter Tires?
It’s easy to assume a tire is a tire, but there’s a lot more nuance to the topic, especially when it comes to the production of tires specifically built to tackle the demands of winter driving. What makes a BMW cold weather winter tire? Take a look at these four pillars of what allows a winter tire to attack the winter season with ease.
- Contact Patch
This middle section of the tire introduces a wide section of traction that meets the snow head-on. These stiff treads allow for an equalization of pressure across the grips to optimize an even attack. - Grooves
Working out from the contact patch are wide grooves, effectively creating a channel that’s able to drain out water, and push away snow. - Tread Blocks
Right next to the grooves are the tread blocks, which can come in different forms: where an open design excels in a lot of snow, while bigger treads help with handling. - Sipes
These tiny features on the tire create a biting effect, slicing through water and slush, which allows the tread to connect with the road more easily andsafely.
