Vehicles Slipping on Icy Roads: Essential Snow Driving Tips and Tire Guide
- •Recent videos show vehicles slipping on snowy roads in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, leading to accidents and traffic jams.
- •Incidents highlight the dangers of driving in mountains without proper preparation, with cars skidding, colliding, and falling into ditches.
- •Winter Tires (Snow Tires) are crucial for snow driving, designed with soft rubber compounds and deep sipes for superior grip below 7°C.
- •All-Season Tires are inadequate for snow as their rubber hardens, losing traction; winter tires remain effective even at -30°C.
- •Snow Chains offer additional grip in heavy snow or black ice, but winter tires are generally more convenient and safer for regular use.
