In winter weather, your car needs special tires to survive on slick, icy roads. All season tires may seem to be the right choice if looking for convenience, but they don't provide a ton of traction for those roads that are extra slippery due to deep snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.

The truth is that snow tires or winter tires use different materials. There are studded and studless winter tires that provide excellent traction. The different material also withstands temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. This is crucial for handling your car on freezing mornings when the temperatures drop. Winter tires with studs offer even more traction, which is perfect for roads covered in ice. For Newark drivers, winter tires would be best.

A full selection of winter tires can be found at Porter Chevrolet, including all season and winter tires. Though we recommend going with winter tires for the cold season, all-season tires make sense when the temperature doesn't drop below 60 degrees. They're also perfect for dry and wet conditions.
