It’s pretty brief so just be ready for it : 

1. The reason why New & Used Winter Tires / New & Used Snow Tires are different from regular tires is because they have specific tread patterns that are customized to dig down & bite into the snow & ice. They are also made from rubber compounds that are much softer from the ordinary one that you see on All-Season Tires. 

2. All-Season Tires are not as good in the Winter time as New or Used Winter Tires are. An easy way to actually understand the difference is to think of All-Season Tires as regular sneakers that you can wear everyday & New / Used Winter Tires would be the snow boots that you belt on whenever you go to the mountains. Are you getting a better picture? 

3. If you’re thinking about getting New or even Used Winter Tires & have the idea of just putting it on the Front Wheels; don’t do it. The reason why is because when you do this & drive in the snow, your Rear Wheels are not going to have any grip on the slippery road; which means that you can most likely spin out of control ): 

These are the three basic things that you should remember when mounting & driving on New & Used Winter Tires . I hope it helps !

According to their website, Q Tires is a new technology for tires that is supposed to keep you & your family ultra safe during the dangerous Winter Seasons. They claimed to have manufactured the very first All-Season Tire that has deployable & withdrawing studs that you would normally use for the Icy & Snow covered roads; which means you would no longer have to use New or Used Winter Tires . I think the term that they would prefer to describe their tires is “Cooperative” or “Versatile”. 

The whole way this works goes a little something like this:

These wheels have a wireless & driver activated technology, right? Okay, this lets the stud “appear” when it senses ice or snow on the road; & when there is nothing on the road except the gravel or cement or whatever you drive on, it retracts them automatically! It’s like it does all of the work for you! 

This new technology is supposed to rid of road damage that is normally caused by permanent studs. So .. is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it worth all of that money? You decide because I live in California where there’s no snow (:

Waiting for your response,
