Every year people change over their normal summer and all year treads to tires that are more appropriate for cold weather conditions. Well, this year was an exceptional year for people from coast to coast needing tires that could perform exceptionally in the toughest cold weather conditions.
Far and above any other concern is tire pressure. Cold weather always causes a decrease in tire pressure, which causes vehicles to run at less-than-optimal rates. Low tire pressure in cold months can radically decrease fuel efficiency, and make a vehicle more susceptible to tire damage. It's very difficult to tell when a vehicle is encountering exceptional tire damage in cold weather due to low tire pressure. Inevitably, tire damage will need to be addressed.
Whether a driver is using studs, or other all-weather tires, a full season of vehicle operation requires a survey of tire safety and integrity. One horrible winter season of wear can impose terrible damage on a set of tires that is only determined by a professional tire service. This year's tires may have performed well, but equipping a vehicle with a set of tires for next year's cold weather onslaught should be a first priority. Now that spring is on the horizon, it's the perfect time to inquire about tough tires for next winter.
