As we head toward the cold of winter, many Norwich, VT drivers have the choice between installing winter tires on their Subaru vehicles. As the name suggests, winter tires are designed to work primarily in wintery conditions, including snow and ice. These tires are built with a softer compound and deeper tread grooves to grip the road surface better.
Our team at White River Subaru welcome you to learn about the pros and cons of winter tires. We encourage you to contact our team if you have questions about our tire services; please let us know.
Winter Tire Pros
Winter tires give you superior grip and traction over icy and snow-covered roads. Additionally, winter tires provide better braking to help bring you to a stop if the road gets too treacherous. You can also save over the wear of your all-season tires when you bolt on a set of winter tires.

Winter Tire Cons
While winter tires provide ample grip and confidence when traversing snow, there are drawbacks. For one, the softer compound means faster wear on the tire once the snow melts off. Further, because of its aggressive tread design, a winter tire digs into the road, causing damage to the tire and the road. Moreover, you'll only need the winter tires a few months out of the year, requiring you to take time to mount and balance tires twice.
