As the snow begins to fall in Summit, NJ and around America, all of us have to change our driving habits. Being extra careful and safe is important, and with a new Volvo, you certainly will, as each model has a host of features aimed at giving you confidence behind the wheel. But, it's not all technology. There's still the thing that grips you to the road, and having the right tires in winter is a big deal.

Over in the United Kingdom, Volvo took to the SnowDome, a place where they built an indoor ice rink, and ski slope! Of course that alone is very cool, but they were there to show how a Volvo model, particularly the Europe-only V40 performs with, and without snow tires, or as they say, tyres. The automaker enlisted the help of Louise Thompson, who is on a reality series across the pond called Made in Chelsea, and owner of Pocket London, a fashion line.

On the vehicle without snow tires, Thompson found that she could not go very far without getting stuck on the ski trail full of snow. But, with snow tires, she was able to drive all the way to the top of the hill.

It's a simple way of saying get snow tires for wintery weather. If you'd like to learn about how you can get them installed with the help of our auto service department, stop in to Smythe Volvo today. We'd be happy to discuss it with you, while also highlighting other new Volvo vehicles and answering any questions you might have.
