snow tyres
Cold-weather traction rubber
Snow tyres are tyres designed for winter driving conditions, with deeper treads and softer rubber compounds that grip better on snow and ice.
The spelling with a y is British; Americans write snow tires.
In regions with harsh winters, drivers swap their regular tyres for snow tyres each season, or use all-season tyres as a compromise.
