(NAPSI)—Safety on the road is important all year-round, but the winter weather calls for extra caution behind the wheel.
That’s why many auto safety experts, such as Discount Tire, America’s largest tire and wheel retailer, urge motorists to switch to tires specifically designed for cold weather driving. Winter tires are designed for driving in temperatures of 45 degrees or below and if there’s any chance you’ll encounter snow, ice and wet roads on a consistent basis.
