Winter Tires

During the winter months severe driving conditions can be experienced which include: ice, snow, and slush. Winter tires are designed to provide enhanced traction with advanced deep tread designs allowing your vehicle to easily grip snow-covered and icy roads. They are designed to stay soft and flexible at low temperatures, so they will deform and re-conform to all the irregular surfaces of ice, resulting in grip.

Questions and Answers

Question: When should I change my summer tires to winter tires?
Answer: Believe it or not, it depends on if you have an “ice” tire or a regular “snow” tire. Ice tire manufacturers recommend that the best time to put on your tires is when constant temperatures reach 4 degrees Celsius or below. With regular snow tires, it is recommended that temperatures are 7 degrees Celsius and below. 

Question: My car has all-season tires, aren’t those good enough?
Answer: All-season tires are designed to cope with all sorts of conditions, including dry roads and rain, but are not optimized for any one condition. They are generally made from harder materials that don’t conform to the road surface as well in low temperatures. Think of all-season tires as sneakers and snow tires as heavy-duty snow boots. It is possible to walk down a snowy, icy sidewalk wearing sneakers — but it’s a lot easier and safer to do it with proper snow boots.
