Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Tires for Vermont Fall and Winter Driving
Brattleboro's foliage season is gorgeous, and it's also when the trouble starts. Overnight lows in October regularly dip into the upper 30s here, and your standard M+S all-season tire's rubber compound begins stiffening at 45 degrees F.

The snow might not arrive until November in earnest, but the compound problem shows up with apple cider season. Tire marketing rarely mentions that part.
