Abstract

The Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) was contracted to review the literature on winter tires and safe winter driving. The objective of this work was to compile and review available information and develop a current state of knowledge regarding the efficacy of winter tires and their potential effects on traffic safety, within the broader context of safe winter driving strategies. This was pursued using a thorough review and analysis of existing domestic and international research and an environmental scan for relevant winter tire information. The review also provided insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the existing body of research about winter tires. (Author/publisher)
