How to determine which set of winter tires is best for you

Winter is just around the corner, we can feel it in the morning and evening, and we are starting to see the leaves fall on the road. Now’s the right time to start thinking about winter tires, but how do you determine which tires are best for you?


After all, there are a lot of winter tires on the market, and the fact is there are no bad tires. Some are obviously better than others, but the key is really finding the right tire for your specific needs. Here are a few tips to help you do that.

 

Set the budget first

 

First things first, before you can figure out what type of tires is best for you, you have to plan your budget. The budget will give you a starting point and allow you to find the best tires within your price range.


Determine where and how much you will drive


Winter tires are all designed to perform well in snow and on ice, but some are better than others in one situation or another. Moreover, some tires are quieter and some are designed more for performance.


If you drive mostly on the highway and live in the city, for example, you probably need tires that perform better on ice than in deep snow, and if you don’t plan on driving very often in the middle of a snowstorm, then you may want to look at tires that are quieter and more comfortable.


Inversely, if you have to be able to leave the house regardless of what is happening outside, then tires designed to be at their best in snow are probably the better option. Again, it all depends on your needs and how you plan to use your vehicle.
