Winter driving (part two)
Your tires are the only thing that contact the road. Therefore, when the temperature drops below the freezing point, winter tires (especially ice tires) offer you the advantage of being able to drive with soft compound tires, which is not the case with all-season tires. Winter tires play an important role during braking and acceleration because they provide better grip on icy and snowy roads. In addition, they eliminate more easily the snow and the sludge that build up in their tread. They are quite an ally.
