Even the best all-season tires will not provide acceptable levels of traction if you drive too fast in snow or icy conditions, and if you do not allow at least 12 times more stopping distance on wintry roads.

For Safe Winter Driving:

• Reduce your speed. Even good road conditions can deteriorate quickly.
• Increase your stopping distance by at least 12 times more than on dry roads. You may not always need that much distance, but when you do, you’ll be glad you were playing it safe.
• Check the condition of your tires. Worn tires provide less grip.

• Vehicle speed: As speed increases, wet traction is considerably reduced.
• Water depth: The deeper the water, the sooner you will  lose traction, although even thin water layers can cause a loss of traction, even at low speeds.
• Tire tread depth: As your tires become worn, their ability to resist hydroplaning is reduced.

Since hydroplaning can result in a complete loss of traction and vehicle control, you should always reduce speed with consideration to the traffic around you.
