D & D Automotive and Diesel: Buy A New Set Of Winter Snow Tires
At D & D Automotive and Diesel we know that icy roads can be dangerous if you don't have the right winter tires. Winter tires are engineered for traction in ice and snow when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. Winter tires leverage a combination of ribs, grooves, lugs, sipes, and studs.
Winter tires are made with rubber that stays softer and more pliable in cold winter temperatures. Flexible rubber is one reason you get more traction on snow and ice. However, the softer rubber also wears down more quickly. Replace your snow tires if the deep grooves that work to expel snow and slush buildup are worn down. Come by D & D Automotive and Diesel today at 4527 South 140th Street and we can help you decide if it's time for a new set of snow tires.
The 5 Most Important Things To Know About Winter Snow Tires
Ribs: The edge of a snow tire has a chunky angled tread designed to move snow and ice away from the outer edge of the tire.
Grooves: Snow tires offer deep grooves to move snow away from the tire. Deep grooves trap snow into the void allowing for total contact between the tread and the road. The angle of the grooves allows the tire to eject snow from the grooves when the vehicle is in motion.
Lugs: Snow tires offer an aggressive tread in the center of the tire designed to remove snow and ice build-up. Winter tires pair more lugs with deeper grooves than an all-season tires. Sets of lugs and grooves make up a tread block. Each tread block has irregular, sharp edges that increase traction. This special design allows winter snow tires to cut through snow and ice.
Sipes: Winter tires feature-heavy siping. "Siping" is a small patterned slit on the lugs that creates extra edges for better road grip. For added traction, many tire shops offer custom siping to improve starting and stopping.
Studs: There are two types of winter snow tires, studded and non-studded. Studded tires are embedded with small metal studs that provide the best traction in tough winter conditions. In some states studded winter tires are illegal. As the name would suggest, non-studded snow tires do not have studs. Non-studded snow tires do not provide the same high level of traction offered by studded tires but still provide substantially more grip than an M+S all-weather tire. Non-studded winter tires are often paired with snow chains for extremely heavy snow and ice.

Sprinter problems! This is the place to go. Why wait two months for the MB dealer when D&D will get ya sorted in days. Called em min cross country trip from Florida ton Idaho on a Tuesday and the had me sorted before brunch Wednesday. Dealer stated they could take a look in 6 weeks - a common issue dealerships. But not double D! They open super early, have professional technicians, are super friendly and a fraction of the cost of the dealership. Thanks D&D for keepin the wheels turning!

I highly recommend this small but mighty automotive shop. We have taken all of our family vehicles to D & D for several years now. They go way above and beyond. I had a question on my daughters 2014 Ford Focus transmission and Cody called several places to research my options for me, to see if it was worth fixing or not. Also, they never push other services that are not necessary. They truly are honest group of guys. Thanks again Cody!
