Getting traction: It's time to check tires before snow flies

FILE – In this Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016, file photo, the driver of a pickup appears to have swapped out his general use tires, in the truck’s bed, in favor of snow tires just in time to deal with the snow-covered streets if Auburn, Maine. Experts say if the rubber on your tires is worn, you could slide, crash or get stuck, even in a light snowfall. Depending on where you live and how badly you need to get someplace in bad weather, you might want winter tires. All-season tires might be an option, but they won’t start and stop as well in ice and snow. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty, File)
