Tire studs are illegal in Wisconsin, and tire chains are a hassle to install and limit your speed, so what can you do? The answer is to equip yourself with snow tires. These deep-tread soft-compound tires can find traction even when all-season tires can’t.

Snow tires are also perfectly legal in Wisconsin, require no more maintenance than a standard tire, and are often just as affordable. Snow tires are especially helpful on rear-wheel drive cars and trucks, but they can also be useful for front-wheel drive vehicles, all-wheel drive vehicles, and even four-wheel drive vehicles.

Snow tires are designed to be super soft. This helps them gain traction, even in the coldest weather. As the temperature goes up, the compound gets even softer. When a treaded tire gets too soft, not only can your traction be compromised, but your tire’s rubber can actually start to chunk off. This can damage your tire, rims, and even potentially lead to an accident. In short, do not use snow tires all year round.

This means you have to remount tires twice a year if you’re going to use snow tires, but that’s not as terrible as it sounds. With a snow tire set and an all-season set, both sets of tires will last longer, you’ll be able to track tire health better, and you’ll be safer in those dreaded winter weather months.

One way to make the transition between tires sets easier is to buy a second set of rims. This way, both sets can be mounted on rims making the change over super easy. No matter what you decide to do, the talented people at Holiday can help!
