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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

When to Switch to BMW Cold Weather Tires?

The 7℃ is an old standby in the automotive industry for a reason, because of its tried and true guidance around when to switch your tires out. If you don’t know, it works like this: traditionally, winter tires are safe, and most beneficial, when the temperature average gets below this number. This is your sign, when you see the thermometer dip, to get your winter tires on. Don’t wait for the snow to hit the ground, and see yourself waiting too late and stuck in a long line, act within this mark and be prepared. Ensure that your BMW is driving to its ultimate potential by following the 7℃ rule.
