You need winter tires because summer and all-season tires are not equipped to handle excess amounts of snow and ice. Improved control and traction are two of the other benefits that you can reap from getting winter tires. Studded, studdable and studless are the options you have. Studded tires come with metal spikes that are designed to give you better grip. They can also get through ice and snow. However, studded tires may not be an option in certain areas.
Studless tires have deep tread depths. This makes it easier for the snow and ice to disperse. Studdable tires take the properties of both studless and studded tires. They do not come with studs, but they have holes that allow you to install them. You can still have great traction even if you do not put the studs in the tires.
