What Type of Tire Will You Be
Using This Winter?

By design, all-season tires trade a little dry and wet road traction in moderate and warm temperatures to provide light snow traction in below freezing temperatures (best suited to the 20- to 100-degree Fahrenheit range). Winter tires trade a little dry and wet road handling in moderate and warm temperatures to emphasize wet, ice and snow traction in cold to moderate temperatures (best suited for 0- to 50-degree Fahrenheit range).

In order to get a better understanding of how much ice traction is provided by summer, all-season and winter tire types, members of The Tire Rack Team recently conducted an "Ice Rink Performance Drive" on the glare ice of a skating rink. We compared Bridgestone's Ultra High Performance Summer Potenza RE750 to their Standard Touring All-Season Turanza EL400, as well as to two Blizzak Winter tires, the popular Blizzak WS-50 and the new Blizzak REVO 1.
