Industry-wide, performance tires average about 45,000 miles in tread life, similar to the figures for tires used on ordinary passenger cars. More often, rapid tire wear usually is due to powerful vehicles and aggressive driving. Wide tires provide better traction under all weather conditions. Putting oversized snow tires on a car delivers better snow traction. In fact, the opposite is true.
Narrow tires are a better option in deep snow.
In some parts of the country this may be true, but if you live in the northern-most states or in Canada, the traction provided by winter tires can t be beat. Winter tires reign supreme in rural areas where snow remains on the road for days. They provide 25 percent improved traction in deep snow over all-season tires. With any car having the same size tires at all four wheels, their radial tires can be crossed from side to side in the rotation pattern. Regular tire rotation about every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, promotes more uniform wear for all tires on a vehicle.
