1. Tread
The tread direction of a snow tire tread is asymmetrical, while the tread direction of a regular all-season tire tread is symmetrical. The more grooves there are, the larger the proportion of grooves on the surface of the tire, and the better the drainage performance.
2. Metal anti-cleats
In order to prevent slipping, snow tires will use metal cleats on the tires to increase grip to ensure that the vehicle can drive safely in ice and snow weather. It should be noted that snow tires are only suitable for snow weather, non-snow weather, if you use snow tires, it will have a negative impact on the ground, so you need to pay attention to the timely use and replacement of tires.
3. Material
Snow tires are made of special formulas and materials that are softer than ordinary tires. The silica mixture rubber formula formulated by snow tires can contact more closely with the smooth ice surface, so that the snow tires produce greater friction than ordinary tires, helping the car to better control the direction on the smooth ice surface, and the safety factor is greatly improved. Even below 7 degrees Celsius, snow tires retain a softer texture and create a stronger grip. Ordinary tires will become harder and harder at low temperatures, and they will not be able to rub against the ground, which will cause hidden dangers for safe travel.
