What's the difference between all-season and all-weather tires? How are they different from winter tires? And do I need to bother if my car has all-wheel drive? On this episode, we explain the differences between each of these types of tires, which conditions they work best in, and offer Consumer Reports buying advice on how to make sure you're prepared for driving in icy, snowy weather. We also discuss the rising average price of a new car, and what role advanced safety features play in making vehicles more expensive.
SHOW NOTES:
:44 - what's the difference between each type of tire?
7:33 - how we test winter tires
12:25 - the best time to buy winter tires
15:04 - audience question: driving fatalities are up, why aren't advanced safety features helping?
