NJ Winter Tire Guide: Maximize Safety on Slippery Roads
New Jersey winters can be unpredictable, bringing snow, ice, and slush. Are you prepared? The key to safe winter driving is often your tires. At Stonehouse Fuel & Service, we want to ensure you're ready for whatever the season throws your way.
Why Winter Tires?
- Superior Grip: Winter tires have a special rubber compound that stays flexible in cold temperatures, providing better grip than all-season tires.
- Enhanced Traction: The tread pattern is designed to bite into snow and ice, improving acceleration, braking, and cornering.
- Improved Safety: Reduced stopping distances and better handling can prevent accidents.
When to Switch to Winter Tires
As a general rule, when temperatures consistently drop below 45°F (7°C), it's time to consider switching to winter tires. Don't wait for the first snowfall!
Choosing the Right Winter Tires
Several factors influence the best winter tires for your vehicle:
- Vehicle Type: Cars, trucks, and SUVs require different tire types.
- Driving Conditions: Do you primarily drive on city streets or rural roads?
- Budget: Winter tires range in price; we can help you find options that fit your needs.
