Is it necessary to change to snow tires when driving in cold regions? What is the difference between snow tires and ordinary summer tires?
If the region you are in has cold winter temperatures and a high probability of snowfall, it is recommended that you change to snow tires in time, which is more conducive to ensuring your driving safety. Snow tires are specially developed for winter road conditions and have a more suitable rubber compound and tread pattern design for ice and snow roads. Therefore, vehicles equipped with snow tires will have better grip on ice and snow roads than those equipped with summer tires. The performance of the rubber material used in summer tires decreases in low-temperature environments. Even on non-ice and snow roads in cold climates, the performance of summer tires will also degrade. Therefore, we recommend that everyone equip their vehicles with appropriate tires according to different seasons and road conditions.
In addition, please note: the specifications of the replacement winter tires must be consistent with the original factory specifications (which can be checked in "Vehicle Details" in the Xiaomi EV APP), and all four wheels must use the same brand, structure, and tread pattern. Please choose products with the international snowflake symbol, which can clear snow more quickly in extremely cold regions and prevent slipping.
