Snowplowing tires can be divided into two, dedicated winter tires and all-weather tires. The latter type of tires offers the best of both worlds. They can be used on dry non-snowy surfaces as well as on mild-snow. These tires can be used in winter conditions to some degree. Winter tires, on the other hand, are designed specifically for winter conditions. They are made from a unique rubber that does not harden as a result of extreme cold.
