Your Driving and the Road Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your Chevrolet in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. Snow tires can help in loose snow, but they may give you less traction on ice than regular tires.If you do not expect to be driving in deep snow, but may have to travel over ice,you may not want to switch to snow tires atall. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle. Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a piece of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Besure you properly secure these items in your vehicle. Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and theroad, you can have a very slippery situation. You'll have a lot less traction or "grip" and will need to be very careful.
