What's the difference between four-season tires and snow tires?

The difference between four-season tires and snow tires is mainly manifested in the following two points:

1, from the appearance.

Snow tires are different from ordinary or single guide tires, and have asymmetric directional tread patterns. There are many grooves in snow tires, which is the proportion of grooves on the tire surface. The higher the ratio, the better the drainage. Snow tires have at least 1000 small grooves, and ordinary tires have about 200.

2, from the material point of view

Snow tires are softer than ordinary tires, mainly because the tread adopts some special formulas. For example, the prepared silica mixture rubber formula can contact the smooth ice surface more closely, thus generating greater friction than the four-season tire, and greatly improving the handling and safety of the vehicle on the smooth ice surface. Tires will remain soft in low-temperature snow, while ordinary tires will harden with the decrease of temperature.

Extended data:

Storage method of tires:

1. When it rains, please move the tires indoors to prevent water from entering the tires;

2. Tires with oil or water are easily damaged or deformed. So please put it in a place where there is no oil or water;

3. Please don't put it in a place that will cause tire scar or deformation;

Please don't put it beside the generator, battery, etc.

5. Dismantle the tire for a long time, please pay attention to the chemical substances oozing from the tire, which will pollute the ground.
