Danger of normal tires
When you drive on snowy roads with normal tires, the tires become hard due to low temperatures and lose their adhesion, making it impossible for them to grip the road surface with friction. For this reason, if a vehicle “slips”, “does not stop”, or “does not turn”, it becomes impossible to control the movement that the vehicle is supposed to maintain, leading to slip accidents and traffic jams.
Driving test results show that when driving on snowy roads at 40km/h, the distance from when you step on the brake until the car stops is regarding 1.7 times longer with normal tires than with winter tires.
Normal tires are very dangerous on snowy roads, so be sure to use winter tires and chains. Roads may be icy following snow or rain. Even if it looks like there is no snow on the road, you need to be very careful when driving.
