Show about a pound for every 10 degree change in temperature, he explained. Thats why it is important to check your tire pressure when your car is outside in the temperature that it will be driven in. Tires checked in a heated garage may show proper tire pressures, but the same tires moved out into the cold may be underinflated. Its always important to choose the right equipment for the job that has to be done, White said, but when it comes to choosing the right tires and traction aids for winter driving, the choise is even more critical than most. Safe starting, stopping and cornering in winter weather depends on the grip a few square inches of rubber can get on wet, icy or pavement. Its worth the extra time and effort to make sure that grip is as tight as it can be, he concluded. Safety Council advises on winter tires, traction aids Safe winter driving means getting a grip on the road, and according to Darcie H. White, President of the Utah Safety Council, the grip drivers get depends on the tires and traction aids they select for winter use. Drivers should check their tires to make sure they have plenty of tread for traction on ice and snow, White said, but even with new tires, braking distances will be greatly lengthened and a cars acceleration capability will be decreased on ice and snow as compared with dry pavement. According to White, the average car needs 17 feet to come to a stop on dry pavement once the brakes are applied that from 20 miles per hour. On loosely packed snow, the same car needs 60 feet to stop, and on glare ice at 25 degrees Fahrenheit, braking distance is 149 feet. Reinforced tire chains are still a drivers best winter traction buy, White said. Chains on the rear wheels can cut a drivers braking distance on snow at 20 miles per hour to 38 feet. On glare ice at 20 miles per he continued, rear hour, wheel chains can cut braking distance in half. In addition, White said, chains give more than three times better acceleration traction than regular tires in loosely packed snow, and more than six times better acceleration than regular tires on glare ice. Snow tires, White said, cut braking distance on snow and improve acceleration on both snow and ice. Studded tires, he said, cut braking distance and increase acceleration substantially on glare ice, but provide no benefits on loosely packed snow. Studded snow tires on rear wheels and regular studded tires on front wheels make a good combination for safe acceleration, braking and cornering on both snow and ice surfaces, White said. Studded tires and snow tires need special care, according to W'hite. He advised motorists to have studs inserted by a tire dealer or garage and steer clear of studding kits. Studs, he added, should only be inserted into new tires, since road grit can work into the stud holes of used tires, preventing the studs from seating properly. Most states, according to White, restrict studded-tir- e use to several months in the late fall, winter, and early spring, but he cautioned drivers using studded or snow tires to avoid extended travel on dry roads even during these cold months. Studded tires, like snow tires, heat rapidly at high speeds, resulting in damage to the tread, he explained. White said motorists who are remounting studded tires this year should mount them in the same positions they were mounted in last winter. Tire studs, he said, wear at an angle, depending on the direction the wheel turns. If the direction of wheel rotation is reversed, he continued, the studs will rotate in the tire tread in an attempt to1 correct the angle and may loosen and fall out. White also warned drivers mounting winter tires to avoid mixing tires of different constructions, saying that mixing radial and regular tires could alter vehicle handling characteristics. "Any type of tire a motorist chooses for winter use should be kept properly inflated according to the tire manufactuers speciThe White said. fications story that motorists can get more traction out of their tires by bleeding air pressure below recommended levels is pure fiction, he continued. Driving on tires with less than the recommended air pressure only produces excessive heat buildup, which can cause sidewall damage. White said keeping close track of the tire pressure is especially important in the winter, when abrupt changes between garage and outdoor temperatures can affect inflation substantially levels.
