Most areas in my country are located north of the Tropic of Cancer. Basically, the temperature in winter will reach below zero, and the roads are often covered with snow and ice. At the same time, in low temperature weather, the rubber of the tire will harden due to the cold, resulting in a significant drop in grip, and the braking performance of the tire will therefore be reduced, and driving safety cannot be guaranteed.

So, when is the right time to replace winter tires?

When winter comes, snow and ice are prone to occur at low temperatures. In order to ensure driving safety, it is necessary to replace professional and reliable winter tires.

The rubber formula of winter tires is much softer than that of summer tires, which can maintain good elasticity in low temperature environments, and the patterns are denser and finer, which can greatly improve the performance of vehicles when driving on icy and snowy roads, effectively break the water film and enhance grip. , shorten the braking distance and ensure driving safety in winter. This is different from summer tires. The colder and harder the summer tires, the weaker the grip and the easier the tires will slip.

Bridgestone Icebreaker series winter tires adopt breakthrough foam rubber technology. The rubber of this tire contains a large number of small air cells, which can play a cushioning effect, keep the rubber soft even at low temperatures, and effectively inhibit the decline in ice road performance in the later period of use, so that the tire can continue to exert excellent ice and snow performance .

At the same time, the surface of the air chamber contained in the foam rubber is coated with a hydrophilic material. After the tire is worn, the air chamber can cut the water film and absorb water, so that the tire can be closely attached to the ice surface, ensuring the safety of the tire when driving on the ice road. Excellent grip and provides more powerful driving force for the tires.
