The Best Reasons To Get Winter Tires Now
If you live somewhere that turns white in the winter—and you’re not someone who likes to let the weather dictate your adventures—putting reliable winter tires on your vehicle for the season is a no-brainer because the only sliding we want to be doing this winter is on skis, a snowboard or a toboggan—after safely arriving at the hill.
Being in full control of your vehicle is priceless, especially when the roads and highways en-route to the winter wonderlands you’re itching to explore are a mix of treacherous deep or packed snow, slush and ice. All the frosty ingredients Old Man Winter can dream up and toss around, making for a stunning season, can also become a dangerous combo for motorists.
From snowy summits and ski resorts to Nordic lodges, winter cabins and trailheads, this season is all about embracing the journey—whether it’s a holiday road trip or a quiet escape into the winter wilderness. The right winter adventure gear will take you there.
That’s where winter tires step in. With a set of quality winter tires, you can expect enhanced grip, stability and the ability to power through deep snow and heavy slush. Designed and built by enthusiasts, BFGoodrich winter tires tackle harsh winter conditions while still delivering exceptional handling and cornering due to a continuous center rib for precise on-center feel. When you know your winter tires have been designed with predictable cornering and handling in mind, you know you and your outdoor adventure buddies are in good hands.
The BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI tires in particular will always have you ready to take on adventure with next level control on and off the road. But what makes tires the most important piece of equipment this winter?
Traction to Take on Unpredictable Winter Terrain
One of the worst parts about driving in the winter is that white-knuckled feeling of losing control. Deep snow can drag your vehicle towards the ditch and patches of ice can make your steering wheel seem obsolete. Adventure-ready when you need it, BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI tires are built for extreme snowy and icy roads allowing you to confidently access all that winter has to offer from cross-country ski trails, cozy cabins and mountain slopes—so nothing gets in the way of your adventure.
High Performance on Any Surface
A mid-winter Chinook wind means things can go from nostril icicles to t-shirt hikes in one day. It can be difficult to keep up with the shifting weather so having the right tires to head out to enjoy the short-lived balmy weather and get back down the hill with confidence is key. Designed by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, BFGoodrich tires are made of a specialized compound containing silica for exceptional grip on snow and ice. This also allows for stability even when things warm up and get soggy.
Next-Level Control to Keep You Exploring
In the less-than-ideal driving conditions we often get in Canada, safety is paramount. The saw-toothed groove edges, interlocking 3D sipes—a.k.a. a specialized slit pattern in the tire’s tread block—and a serrated shoulder profile maximize grip. These rugged yet precise elements work together for great traction, whether accelerating or braking in slippery slush, ice or snow-filled ruts. Features like these are designed for shorter braking distances on wet and icy roads, helping your vehicle to stop quicker and avoid accidents.
Besides ice cleats and a warm toque, a good set of winter tires will be your prized companion this season.
Adventure Awaits
Everyone who lives life with a sense of adventure needs a way to get out into the world and enjoy it. Wherever your interests lead you, BFGoodrich tires believes you can have fun along the way with more control, more grip and more smiles behind the wheel.
Tackling mountain passes, snowy highways, and that sketchy road leading to your favourite far-out trail is a cinch when your vehicle rides on a set of durable winter tires.
Make this winter a snowy adventure to remember—in a good way—with BFGoodrich winter tires.
