Studded Snow Tires

Studded snow tires -- do you even need them? What types are the best? How do you know when you need a new set? These are common questions that every vehicle owner asks.

First of all, keep in mind that many automobile owners could save themselves a lot of money -- simply because they don't need to purchase a set of studded snow tires. The reason for this is that studded snow tires are for extremely snowy conditions, so if you do not live in a part of the country which gets a lot of snowfall during the winter months, you actually don't need to use them. Why pay for something you really don't need?

What types of studded snow tires are the best? Well, if you go to your local auto dealership they'll try to tell you that only the brands they sell will work well with your vehicle -- and you know that just isn't so.

Every community of any size has at least one business that specializes in the sale of tires -- including studded snow tires -- and you can usually purchase a set of four for about the same amount of money that you would pay for two at your dealership.

How do you know when you need a new set ? I like to use the "sound test" -- when I drive my car and can't hear the "popping" sound very well, I know the studs may be starting to wear down -- that's when I began shopping around for a new set.
