Top-Rated Winter Tires
Before buying winter tires: grip below 45°F
Winter tires are tires built for snow, ice, slush and cold pavement below 45°F (7°C). Winter tires use a rubber compound that stays flexible in freezing temperatures, deep tread with open grooves that pack and release snow, and thousands of sipes, thin slits that add biting edges on ice. Every winter tire carries the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol, which shows the tire passed a standardized severe-snow traction test.
Choosing studless, studdable or studded winter tires
- Studless winter tires grip ice through compound and siping, are legal year-round in every state and run quietly.
- Studdable winter tires have molded stud holes for a tire shop to fit studs, or run unstudded.
- Factory-studded winter tires, with "Studded" in the product name, arrive with studs installed for glare ice on rural and unplowed roads, within each state's stud season.
Winter tires vs. all-weather and all-season tires
Winter tires stop shorter on ice and packed snow than all-weather tires, which also carry 3PMSF but use a compound built for year-round use. Standard all-season tires marked only M+S give the least winter grip of the three. Drivers with long, snowy winters buy a dedicated winter set; drivers with occasional snow often choose all-weather tires.
Buying winter tires as a set of four
Winter tires go on all four wheels. Two winter tires on one axle leave the other axle with less grip, which can spin the vehicle under braking or in a turn on ice, so winter tires are sold and fitted as a set of four in the vehicle's size.
Winter tire sizes to check when ordering
Winter tires are ordered in the placard size or in a smaller wheel size listed in the owner's manual, such as 215/60R17 instead of 235/45R19. A smaller wheel with a taller sidewall costs less per tire and gives more cushion on frozen potholes. Winter tires may carry a lower speed rating than the placard, commonly Q (99 mph), T (118 mph) or H (130 mph), which automakers and tire makers accept for winter tires.
When to order winter tires
Winter tires are best ordered in early fall, before the first snowfall, when popular sizes are in stock and there is time to have them mounted before roads freeze. A winter set with less than about 6/32 in. of tread left at the end of a season has lost much of its snow grip and is due for replacement before the next one.
