Traction tires are a special type of tire
manufactured with at least 1/8 of an inch tread. Traction tires are usually marked with a mountain/snowflake symbol, the letters M+S or “All Season.”
Carry chains, practice before leaving
Requiring chains keeps traffic moving during storms rather than closing a pass or roadway.
Prep your car. Fill up your gas tank,
pack jumper cables, ice scraper, warm clothing, snacks and water.
