Goodyear Viva 2 Tires

Winter driving can be a challenge, so ensuring a car’s tires are up to the task can give drivers extra piece of mind. In colder and snowier climes, using snow (or winter) tires may be a good idea for safety reasons.

Snow tires are different from the standard radials placed on cars, which are commonly referred to as “all season” tires. The tread plays a big part of this: the edges “bite” into the snow and ice better to give increased traction, and the rubber composition of the tire is softer.

This softer rubber allows the tire to be more flexible, which in turn prevents snow buildup between the tread. It also grips on ice better and provides more traction.
