When colder temperatures strike, icy roads can be a major hazard if you have all-season tires. That’s because these tires only have a small amount of traction. They’re not made to withstand temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In these temperatures, you’ll need tougher tires that have optimized materials to handle deep snow, slush, and ice.

Winter and snow tires are built different to handle icy roads. These tires have deep, jagged, wide treads that offer more traction in cold weather conditions. Their rubber compounds don’t stiffen up as much as all-season tires, allowing your tires to stay more flexible even on icy roads. When driving in Wantagh during cold seasons, you’ll want tires that have more grip to maximize balance and control on icy patches.

At Sun GMC of Nassau., we also provide a variety of tires with studded and studless designs. Our snow tires have more siping to maximize your tread’s grip and ensure that you stay in control around winding roads and icy curves.
