Which tires are best at ice slip?
The choice of winter tires can be crucial in extreme slipping. According to Kjell-Olof MatssonInvestigator at the Swedish Transport Agency, double tires is the best choice when the temperature is around zero and the roads are icy.
– Generally, you can say that double tires give the best grip on ice slip and temperatures near zero, he says to SVT.
Friction tires also work well on winter roads, but have a worse grip compared to double tires. Whatever the tire you use, the most important thing is to adjust the speed and keep a proper distance to other vehicles.
