As Traverse City prepares for another long winter, it's time to make sure that your vehicle is ready for the snowy and icy conditions that will inevitably visit the area. One great way to enhance your safety in wintry conditions is to add a set of snow tires to your vehicle. Check out this guide to snow tires from Fox Grand Traverse Lincoln to ensure you purchase the perfect set.

Some winter tires come with studs mounted in the tread. These studs are small bits of metal that can significantly increase your traction on ice. If you live in an area where the roads stay covered in ice, studded winter tires are your best option.

For other types of winter driving, winter tires without studs are your best bet. Both studded and studless winter tires have special rubber compounds that ensure they stay flexible when the air temperature is frigid. The benefit of studless winter tires is that you don't have to worry about the tires tearing up the road when you need to drive on dry pavement.
