Winter Tire Swap

At Big Rock Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Hinton, Alberta, we understand that winter tires are crucial to safe winter driving, particularly here in Alberta, where our winters are harsh. Once the temperature drops to seven degrees Celsius, there is no match for a set of good winter tires to keep you and your loved ones safe. Continue reading as we explore the benefits of investing in a good set of winter tires this season.

Better Traction

Winter tires contain silica, which helps them maintain flexibility in temperatures below seven degrees and have deeper tread depth, reducing snow build-up in the tires. These features help improve their grip on cold, wet, or snow-covered roads and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

Better Braking

The tread pattern, which is deeper than all-season tires, features sipes, which are small slits in the tire tread designed to cut through water and slush, get a better grip on ice or dig deep in the snow, which in turn can reduce the time and distance your vehicle needs to brake by up to 25 percent.
