Lee's Auto Repair Service: Buy A New Set Of Winter Snow Tires

At Lee's Auto Repair Service we know that icy roads can be dangerous if you don't have the right winter tires. Winter tires are engineered for traction in ice and snow when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. Winter tires leverage a combination of ribs, grooves, lugs, sipes, and studs.

Winter tires are made with rubber that stays softer and more pliable in cold winter temperatures. Flexible rubber is one reason you get more traction on snow and ice. However, the softer rubber also wears down more quickly. Replace your snow tires if the deep grooves that work to expel snow and slush buildup are worn down. Come by Lee's Auto Repair Service today at 11273 White Rock Rd and we can help you decide if it's time for a new set of snow tires.

The 5 Most Important Things To Know About Winter Snow Tires

Ribs: The edge of a snow tire has a chunky angled tread designed to move snow and ice away from the outer edge of the tire.

Grooves: Snow tires offer deep grooves to move snow away from the tire. Deep grooves trap snow into the void allowing for total contact between the tread and the road. The angle of the grooves allows the tire to eject snow from the grooves when the vehicle is in motion.

Lugs: Snow tires offer an aggressive tread in the center of the tire designed to remove snow and ice build-up. Winter tires pair more lugs with deeper grooves than an all-season tires. Sets of lugs and grooves make up a tread block. Each tread block has irregular, sharp edges that increase traction. This special design allows winter snow tires to cut through snow and ice.

Sipes: Winter tires feature-heavy siping. "Siping" is a small patterned slit on the lugs that creates extra edges for better road grip. For added traction, many tire shops offer custom siping to improve starting and stopping.

Studs: There are two types of winter snow tires, studded and non-studded. Studded tires are embedded with small metal studs that provide the best traction in tough winter conditions. In some states studded winter tires are illegal. As the name would suggest, non-studded snow tires do not have studs. Non-studded snow tires do not provide the same high level of traction offered by studded tires but still provide substantially more grip than an M+S all-weather tire. Non-studded winter tires are often paired with snow chains for extremely heavy snow and ice.

  • reviewiconHonest Repair Shop

    "Honesty still exists!'... I was told by O'Reilly's that my alternator, (not my battery, which I had bought from them one year earlier) was bad after they did a diagnostic test on my Toyota. I was prepared to replace the alternator when I went to Lee's automotive repair in Rancho Cordova. To my surprise they told me the battery was actually bad and only running at 35%. (which O'Reilly's had told me was perfectly fine) And then they even told me that the battery was probably still warrantied to check with O'Reilly's, where I had bought the battery from in the first place, to see if it was still warranty. It was! Lee's automotive could have very easily sold me AT LEAST a new battery but they said they were not in the business to rip people off. From a female's point of view, that meant the world to me! THANK YOU LEE'S?
