1. Ice and snow roads are 4-8 times more slippery than ordinary roads, so try to avoid sudden braking or acceleration when driving. When driving, the safe driving distance from the vehicle in front should be doubled. Safety cannot be pinned on tires and vehicle configuration. No matter how good the tires are, they cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.
2. Cold weather can "steal" tire pressure! If the tire pressure monitoring system alarms in the morning and returns to normal after driving for a while, it means that the tire pressure has reached a critical state and cannot adapt to the temperature difference. You need to check the tire pressure and increase the tire pressure appropriately within the standard range to cope with the temperature difference. Changes, especially very cold conditions, should increase tire pressure.
3. Winter is the season when you need to consider replacing tires the most. Never wait for the tires to wear to the depth of the limit indicator (1.6mm) before replacing the tires. When the tread depth is less than 4mm, you should consider replacing the tires.
Time will cause rubber to age, so regardless of mileage, tires that are more than 4 years old should be checked for tire aging. If the tire shoulder is cracked, it means it has seriously aged. Winter low temperatures will accelerate cracking and must be replaced as soon as possible.
4. If you replace tires, it is recommended to replace four tires at the same time. Different tire types and tread depths will have much greater differences in adhesion on ice and snow roads than on normal roads. The four tires have different adhesion, which will affect the control during acceleration, turning, and braking, posing safety risks.
5. After winter rain and snow, the uneven distribution of ice and snow on the road will cause a large difference in the adhesion between the left and right tires and the ground. When accelerating, turning, and braking, you must pay attention, make judgments in advance, and operate gently.
6. Tri-Ace brand WINTER GRIP pattern is designed for SUV/CUV/pickup truck etc. Directional tread pattern design enhances water-draining ability and increases traction power, reduces the vehicle's braking distance and maximizes driver's safety on slippery road conditions.
