The recent winter storm which blanketed – or threatened to blanket – much of the eastern seaboard with a layer of snow petrified some and made others excited about the chance of a snowy SCCA RallyCross®.

Whether winter weather fills you with dread or excitement, there is little doubt you want to keep treacherous road conditions from sidelining your car and postponing participation in the SCCA Track Night in America® Driven by Tire Rack.  While we are working hard on the 2017 Track Night schedule, we would like you to get through winter in one piece so you can come play with us when the weather warms up.

Luckily, our friends at Tire Rack have some great info when it comes to winter tires.  

To learn about winter and seasonal tire changeovers, take a look at “Alternating Winter & Summertime Tires” article contained within the Winter Tire Tech section of Tire Rack’s website. 

The experts at Tire Rack warn that: “Wintertime travel often increases behind-the-wheel apprehension for drivers living in America's snowbelt. Shorter days and colder temperatures, as well as slush-, snow- and ice-covered roads all conspire to challenge a driver's patience, skills and their tires' traction, adding tension to daily commutes and holiday trips.”

Tire Rack is America’s largest independent tire tester, and the company makes it really easy to outfit your vehicle with new treads.  They carry inventory from more than 20 tire brands, have competitive prices, and can get your order in a day or two.  To make life simple, you can have orders shipped directly to one of Tire Rack’s more than 8,000 independent “Recommended Installers” around the country.  Then just drop off your car at that installer to get the new treads affixed.

Be safe out there this winter so we can see you in 2017 at SCCA Track Night in America Driven by Tire Rack.
