With winter being so unpredictable, it’s important to be ready and prepared. That will make things a lot easier, and ensure your safety as well when the road gets slippery.

Tires and wipers

Your tires need to be in perfect condition and be designed to handle winter. Moreover, you want to install them on your vehicle before the first snowfall, ideally when the weather drops below seven degrees. Also, you want to ensure that you have winter wipers so that you always have perfect visibility.
