How Come No One Uses Snow Tires?

One of the smartest things anyone can do is invest a little money in snow tires. Most people have gotten either lazy or too cheap to buy and use snow tires in the winter, claiming their "all season radials" will do the trick. Well they won't.
Snow tires have tread patterns specifically designed to dig down and bite into snow, and they're made from softer rubber that retains flexibility in cold weather. This allows the tire to better conform to the surface of the road. This is why snow tires keep a better grip on snowy and slushy surfaces than regular all season radials. Modern automobile safety technologies like antilock brakes, electronic stability or traction control, and all wheel drive cannot do their jobs if the tires can't maintain their grip on the road surface.
So for better automobile safety and to prevent potential insurance claims, spend a few extra dollars on safety and get snow tires for the winter.

7 Ways to Lower Premiums for Your Commercial Vehicles

A comprehensive insurance policy for your commercial vehicle or fleet is a necessary cost of doing business in a responsible fashion. If your cars or trucks are out of commission, that can mean lost business and thus lost profits. 
Furthermore, as any Poughkeepsie NY insurance agent will tell you, it is a requirement in New York State, as in most states, so it is critical to have this policy in place. Keep in mind that your personal car insurance excludes commercial use of your vehicle or your employees’ vehicles.
