In early October, two of your car's tires are worn out. The other two tires are radial tires. A shop offers you a cheaper pair of non-radial snow tires. What should you do?
Correct answer: Buy two radial tires instead, since radial and non-radial tires must never be used on one car.
Why
Winter is the most difficult season to drive in New York, so get your car ready before the first storm. Put good snow tires on early, and fill the washer reservoir with a fluid that resists freezing. Before you drive in snow or ice, clear all windows, the lights, the wipers, the hood and the roof.
