Mighty Weapons against Snow

Snow tires I have an advantage over regular tires because the tread depth is deeper than the average tire with a convex contour allowing for the center portion of the tread to spread out better.
The spreading is from numerous deep incision lines on the protruding tread, easily discharging melted snow and allowing the tire to generate traction.
Ample trunk space

Got a lot of bags? No problem at all! The Nissan X-Trail's trunk space has more than enough room for all your travel bags and snow sports equipment. It also comes standard with front folding rear seats so you can cram even more in.
Tool Rentals

Waking up each morning it's interesting to see how much snow has been pilled on your car is never a happy sight. But luckily Nissan Rent a Car provides rental tools to clean the snow off your car. So next time you're buried in snow you can thank Nissan Rent a Car!
