Should you get winter tires for a winter road trip?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It might be worth considering a set of winter tires. Winter tires are best suited for snow and ice, so if you\u2019re going far North or if there is a snowstorm coming, then they are a good investment. However, we know that it might seem too expensive to buy a set of tires just for one road trip. That\u2019s why, if you\u2019re not planning to be North for a while and don\u2019t plan on returning, we\u2019d recommend all-season tires instead.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you don\u2019t want to do is drive North on summer tires <\/a>or heavily used tires. Tires are the most important part of your car when driving in winter weather. Driving on tires with bald spots and worn treads can be dangerous, as your car will slide more. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What should you pack for a winter road trip North from Phoenix?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consider packing these essentials: warm winter clothes, a phone charger, snacks, matches, a flashlight, a shovel, jumper cables, and kitty litter. What\u2019s the litter for? You can pour it around your tires if you get stuck in the snow, to give your car more traction. It\u2019s also not a bad idea to keep a first aid kit or a blanket in your car, just in case. Matches and flashlights can be used for seeing in the dark, and also for signaling other drivers on the road. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
