Winter tires are sometimes known as mud and snow (M+S or M&S designation) tires. A major misconception by consumers is that all-season tires are appropriate for well, all seasons. However, a special purpose tire for winter can drastically improve vehicle handling and safety.
You may have read on car forums or magazine articles about the well-known Blizzak or Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires. Most major tire manufacturers like Dunlop, Continental, and Goodyear also make snow tires that may suit your vehicle.
