These tires are specially constructed to grip snowy surfaces. Even the rubber is specially formulated to stay pliable in the cold & give you better traction on icy roads. However, this same construction features make snow tires prone to more rapid treadwear than other tires on dry surfaces.
Note: If you normally use high performance tires on your car, you should be aware that the addition of winter tires will dramatically affect the way your car handles. We strongly recommend winter tires be placed on all four wheel positions.

Tip for storing your winter tires over the summer:
Protecting your winter tire investment for as long as possible is easy! The best place to store them is in a cool, dry location such as your basement.You can lay them flat, stacked on top of each other, 4 high. That method offers the most support & should eliminate problems when you next apply them in the fall.

In addition, we strongly recommend you return to the store/dealer where you purchased the tires & ask for storage bags. These are just thin plastic bags to wrap the tires in, but they will protect the tires from natural ozone in the air which can cause the tire rubber to dry out & crack. The bags should be free & will extend the life of your tires. Wrap them individually, then stack them.
