To get through canadian winters without trouble, good ice tires are an excellent option. They’ll let you tackle poorly plowed roads with confidence. Thanks to softer rubber than summer tires and tread patterns designed to channel away water and slush, ice tires bite into snow and ice for maximum grip. If you live in the city or suburbs and rarely drive on remote, unmaintained roads, this type of tire is exactly what you need. Here are several reliable models recommended by our experts.
