Even with the most intelligent all-wheel-drive system and the best handling on the market, a car is only as good as its tires. Winter weather is the ultimate test of a tire since you’ll need plenty traction to power through water, slush, snow and salt.
In low temperatures, winter tires shovel and pump water out of the way while gripping the snow to keep your car steady and going in the right direction. Winter tires are an investment in traction – and peace of mind.
Levin Tire in Northwest Indiana has rounded up the top seven winter tires so you can have the right tools for the job in colder months.
Goodyear Ultra Grip
This line of winter tires is both affordable and versatile, offered across an entire spectrum of tire sizes. They’re compatible with a range of cars, trucks and SUVs.
Michelin X-ice Xi3
The tread rubber compound gives these tires a large temperature window to work in. It’s soft enough at low temperatures to offer traction on ice and snow, and stiff at higher temperatures for better traction in wet or dry conditions.
Continental WinterContact SI
This fairly new line of winter tires holds up well against the competition with an affordable price.
Bridgestone Blizzak WS80
Balancing performance and price, Blizzak winter tires are perhaps the industry standard. The unique hydrophilic compound shovels water off the road while the bite particles in the rubber grip even icy surfaces.
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec
Designed specifically for Porsche, these winter tires meet the needs of sports car enthusiasts, regardless of what region they live in.
Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi2
It’s tough to beat the price of Latitude winter tires for your truck or SUV. Their large operating temperature means they can handle mild months as well as harsh winters.
Cooper Discoverer M-S
The tread design and base block of these tires combats even the harshest snow conditions, and their studs cut through icy conditions.
In the winter months, you’ll need to get from Point A to Point B safely and effectively. Winter tires ensure just that, and offer added peace of mind.
