Best Snow Tires for Moderate to Extreme Winters:
The winter is upon us in Colorado and many other parts of the nation. Denver and the surrounding suburbs have already endured two winter snowstorms that have dumped over 12 inches of snow. Driving in these conditions can be frustrating and dangerous without the proper equipment. One way to provide a safer and less frustrating driving experience is to replace your low performing all-season or summer tires with higher performing snow tires. According to Consumer Reports, the Michelin X-Ice was voted the best snow tire for moderate to extreme winter conditions. Compared to other snow tires, the Michelin X-Ice tested the highest for ice and snow traction, while still providing a quiet ride. This tire is comprised of a special winter flex compound and cross Z-sipes technology that is formulated to maintain a superior grip on snowy and icy roads. Also, unlike many snow tires that can cause a noisy and bumpy ride, the Michelin X-Ice uses the Michelin® Comfort Control TechnologyTM which delivers greatly reduced vibrations and road noise. Keep in mind that like many other snow tires, you will have to remove these tires at the end of winter.
