CAA for Winter Tires

CAA is paying service to its members reminding them of the benefits of winter tires. In traditional accessible manner the magazine makes few points: one is that it is not about snow in the first place, but about flexibility - non-winter tires get stiff with temperatures above zero and thus loose a grip.

Secondly magazine brings again the "expert" notion that two tires are not enough. Although it sounds like a common sense, experts suggest that all four winter tires will make your drive much safer.

And finally with elaborate image the magazine tells their members what they should be looking for: the snowflake sign. Don't get fooled by the "All-Season" marketing term, or the "M+S" sign. While the latter stands for "Mud and Snow", it does not make tires certified for winter driving.

So again, although it is not about snow, look for the "Snowflake" sign on the side of your tire for your winter driving.
