標題: 7C 下就好用winter tires [打印本頁]

Vancouver temperatures range from an average of 2 degrees C (36F) in the winter

when rubber hardens in cold weather, so it makes it more difficult to stop quickly. It doesn't have to be below zero for your car to lose traction either. Winter tires can help at anything less than 7 degrees.

below 45 degreesF (7C) Fahrenheit. This is the point where all-season tire compounds begin to harden and lose traction. These tires must use denser compounds in order to deliver better wear. Micro pore or comparable technology is not suitable for these designs. For the same reason, no soft stud material is built into these tires (all season)

btw my fd (icbc adjuster) told me that if u only put on 2 snow tires on a car & got into an accident = ur fault

NO really ga ..  yes .. most summer/all season tires ..  when below 7c ...  start reducing traction ..  but winter tires still offer good traction ar ma ..

Well .. Vancouver ...  um ..  driving skill is most important la..  all season tire is fine .. unless driving some high performance sports car. ( Stock tire->summer )

Pay more attention when driving la...

Stay away from C 9 and kids with BMW/Benz = safe!

其实 C9 唔係以年齡定義架, C9 即 "施奶" 嘅簡寫, 有奶可施與人者謂 "施奶" 。所以有番咁上下容量先至可以施, 老友記中大Ｃ姐謂其具有Ｇ奶或以上, 如实, 庶可稱Ｃ９。

I've been driving in fresh powder and not so fresh powder recently in the Midwest USA. It was a very cold very dry place and I was driving a rental car with all season tires...

Surprisingly, it was very easy. I don't feel that traction degraded very significantly even tho it was like -15C and there's powder on the ground. It think it is because very very dry and frozen snow is not as bad as slippery wet snow + black-ice conditions.

Compared ot Vancouver, holy crap even if it's only -1C -2C with thin fresh powder can send your car all over the place.

People say Vancouver people sucks in driving in the snow, I'll say otherwise. I think Vancouver has some of the most difficult conditions to navigate when it's snowing. The snows are much more slippery because it partly melts upon contact. We also frequently get black ice conditions which doesn't exist in places that are drier and places that stays below 0. To add to the toll, we have a lot more hills than those other places where the flatness of the land contributes to why they get so cold in the first place. Our rate of snowfall (snow dump) is also much more rapid as Vancouver has a lot more precipitation than MidWest, Eastern USA/Canada.

This only reinforces that we should even more so get Winter tires even if we don't get snow frequent and that our snow don't stay. Snow that stays IMO is actually safer than getting snow that comes and go away.

I just got back from downtown and was driving on Cambie. There was a BMW stuck between 9th and 12th Avenue going uphill. I think it has all season tires. Even I have snow tires the traction control was lighting up from time to time and my car was going up hill side way. Really, if you drive a real wheel drive car, please invest in a set of snow tires. Even if you have a FWD or AWD, a set of snow tires is always better than a set of all season tires.
