Winter tires are also referred to as snow tires. Studded, studless and studdable tires all have a rubber compound that is designed to maintain its flexibility in freezing temperatures. Studless tires can handle thick snow and ice due to the fact that they have the metal spikes. However, it is important to note that some places limit the use of studded tires. These types of tires can also do serious damage to the road due to their spikes.
Studless tires have deep groves that can help your vehicle safely get through the snow. Studdable tires have holes that give you the option of placing the studs. Keep in mind that all three of these tires are only designed to be used during the winter time. You should have the tires switched out to summer or all-season tires when the temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
