Introduction Winter driving can be dangerous for a variety of reasons. First, the roads are often icy and wet, which means it's easy for your tires to lose traction and skid. Second, winter weather is more likely to lead to collisions than summer months because people drive more slowly in bad weather. All-season tires are not ideal for the winter roads, so it's important to make sure you have winter tires installed on your vehicle before you hit the road this season!
