Top Daddies's video: Are Worn Winter Tires Safer Than New All Seasons

In this sponsored post, Mike from TopDaddies meets up with the experts at Kal Tire to find out how winter tires perform compared to all-seasons in a variety of tests. Driving on a professional course under the supervision of professional drivers, Mike got to test out different tires in snow conditions. Do not attempt.

ABOUT THE KAL TIRE TESTS Kal Tire did some testing and discovered that a worn five-star premium tire can outperform a new 3-season tire in certain conditions. On an icy road at 30 kilometres per hour, the 75 per cent worn five-star premium winter tire stopped in 29.7 metres; 2.6 m sooner than the new 3-season, which stopped at 32.3 m. The 75 per cent worn premium winter tire held a corner 4.3 per cent better than the new 3-season tire. The premium winter tire outperformed the three-star economy winter tire in all tests over all stages of wear. In the ice braking test, the 75 per cent worn premium winter tire stopped in 29.7 m; the 75 per cent worn economy winter tire stopped in 32.5 m. Braking performance declines significantly between 50 and 75 per cent wear. When the premium winter tire went from 50 to 75 per cent worn, it took an extra 3.1 m to brake on ice. The economy winter tire took an extra 4.8 m. When the premium tire went from 50 to 75 per cent worn, it took an extra 4.4 m to brake on snow. The economy winter tire took an extra 4.3 m to stop.
