Winter tires, also referred to as snow tires, cold weather tires, and thermal tires, improve road safety for vehicles during the winter and thus play an important role in reducing road accidents.

Its tread is designed to provide improved traction on wet, slushy, snowy, icy, and dry cold surfaces. The Winter Tire market in the US has been growing at a slow pace.
