Winters bring heavy snow, icy roads, and freezing temperatures. Choosing the right tires can make a huge difference in safety and comfort. Many drivers rely on all-season tires on roads, but winter tires are designed to handle the extreme cold we see here. Knowing the difference helps you choose the best tires for Kia vehicles, whether you drive an SUV, sedan, or an EV/PHEV model.
Winter tires are built with softer rubber that stays flexible below 7°C. This gives better grip and shorter stopping distances on icy and snowy roads. Kia winter tires also feature deeper tread patterns and biting edges for improved traction. SUVs like the Sorento or Sportage benefit from Kia SUV winter tires because they carry more weight and need extra grip. Kia sedan winter tires keep smaller models like the Forte and K5 stable in corners. Even electric and plug-in hybrid models get better range and handling with proper winter tires because less wheel slip means less wasted energy.
All-season tires work well in mild weather but harden when temperatures drop. They are a good fit for spring, summer, and fall when roads are clear. Kia all-season tires provide balanced performance for moderate conditions but can lose grip during Alberta’s icy mornings. They are ideal for drivers who mainly stay within the city during warmer months or store their car in winter.
