What Lowers Winter Tire Glass Transition Temperature? Key Factors Affecting Performance
Winter tires have a low glass transition temperature. This property keeps the rubber flexible in cold weather, improving traction below 40°F. The flexibility of rubber compounds ensures the tires do not stiffen in low temperatures. Unlike summer and all-season tires, winter tires maintain elasticity, enhancing grip on icy or snowy surfaces. Thirdly, the manufacturing process … Read more
