Part of getting ready for winter in Jasper is swapping out your tires. At Ruxer Truck Center, we carry an impressive selection of winter tires for all of your cold-weather driving needs. The following is what you need to know about the three most popular options.
Studded Winter Tires
Studded winter tires aren't legally allowed in all states. Thus, before making an adventurous, cross-country road trip, be sure to check the tire restrictions in all areas you'll be passing through. Studded winter tires have metal studs that bite into the ice and grip the roadway. They provide adequate traction on slick, icy surfaces.
Standard Snow Tires
Standard snow tires don't have studs at all. Instead, these tires have aggressive tread patterns and deeper tread grooves. When driving over snow or slush, they'll push this semi-frozen precipitation out of your way.
Studdable Winter Tires
With studdable winter tires, you can go just about anywhere. These tires function just like standard snow tires by moving slush and snow to the side. However, they also have pre-molded holes that can accommodate studs if you ever need to traverse ice-covered roads.
