Topic: Differences between 'Winter' & 'Snow' Tires...Excellent write up

[capriracer]

This is now the second time I've noticed this guy has written something that has some technical problems with it.  This is not a very good track record.  What bothers me most is how widely his bogus information is going to be distributed.

If you argee with me, perhaps several letters to the editor would get his contract dropped.

It is only a tread pattern requirement, not a compound requirement, and there are no tests to pass for this designation, so yeah, it doesn't mean much, but it certainly wouldn't let a F1 tire by.

I simply don't agree that there are now only "winter tires" and "snow tires".     Tire companies are now all marketing them as winter tires,  but as pointed out in that category you can find tires aimed at just about any aspect and condition of winter driving you can think of, not just snow.

Well said and, as another writer opined, the writer's editor should know about his poor research skills.
