Winter tires with studs are the best for driving in snow.
April 30.
I assume you are referring to the tread. High grip will have a more aggressive tread design used in off-road conditions or in deep snow. They are called off-road tires or snow tires. The difference is in the tread design.
Dunlop makes good tires for off roading. The Firestone Destination M/T is one of the best off-roading tires on the market today.
Smaller tires should not cause the check engine light to come on. Smaller tires will cause the speedometer to be off.
There are very few tires made in a 155/80R13 anymore, the few that are made are all off brand tires.
Yes. But it will likely only melt a thin film of water, which will freeze and become ice the minute the tire stops spinning. Also, by stepping on the gas and spinning the tires rather than ease your way out of the snow, the tires have less traction. Reason is when the tires spin, you have kinetic friction between the tire and the snow. If the tire is rolling over the snow, you have static friction. Static friction is greater than kinetic friction. Point being: don't spin your tires if you want to avoid getting stuck.
NO ! - they may seem like it, but can come off on turns.
Because if you don't then the tyres would wear off and would soon come off the car
it is a off-road vehicle by default. they only way you could make it safer to drive in the snow is to put a set of snow tires and/or tire chains. these will not promise your safety, use caution, and obey local traffic laws.
no If you've never rotated your tires and they're badly worn, or if they're unbalanced (wheel weight come off ) they can affect your steering somewhat
