Tire Siping – Get More Grip For Winter Driving

With winter fast approaching, having tires with the proper traction becomes more essential. The roads get slippery and icy, and sliding off the road or spinning out of control isn't anyone's idea of a good time. Tire siping is a technique designed to improve your tire's performance not only in the winter, but year round as well. If you've never had your tires siped, there are distinct advantages to doing so. Bruneel Tire Factory will sipe your tires—new or used—and help your car gain the extra grip needed to stay on the road in the roughest conditions.

Tire siping is done by putting tires on a special machine that makes 90 degree cuts in the tire tread. These cuts don't harm the tire, but instead create more flexibility and gripping power. Studded tires are often used in the winter to maintain traction, but instead of having to change over to the winter tires, siped tires give you a comparable performance to studded tires all year round—no studs needed! Siped tires improve your braking, stopping, and starting in low-to-medium level snow packs, while also giving you a softer ride even when it's not snowing.

Siped tires can double your traction effectiveness! By siping the tires, the tire edge has several more gripping edges than before, so your braking power increases on rainy or snowy roads. This increased braking power is essential in adverse conditions. Furthermore, the additional flexibility in the tires absorbs bumpy surfaces much better, which gives you a much smoother ride and a longer tread life for your tire. You'll wonder why you hadn't done it sooner! So, while studded tires are good for winter driving, your effectiveness is limited to the winter. Tire siping gives your tires the advantages of studded tires while also providing additional benefits that last the entire year.

Bruneel Tire Factory offers tire siping as part of our long list of services. Buy your tires here, and we can sipe them before installing them on your car. It's an affordable alternative to studded tires, and the year round benefits go much further than just extra grip in the winter time—although that is a definite bonus. Winter driving can be harsh, and doing so on tires not equipped to do the job can be trouble. Come to Bruneel Tire Factory and ask us how tire siping can help you on the road this winter.
