Winter Tires in Whitby, Ontario

  

Why do you need Winter Tires?

The 2023/2024 Farmer’s Almanac is predicting that Ontario cold fans will rejoice this winter. They are predicting a mix of rain, sleet and snow this winter.

So, what does this mean to us? We need to be thinking about getting our snow tires on.

Why should you get winter tires for winter driving?
  1. Winter tires provide much needed grip and shorter stopping distances when temperatures drop below 7C.
  2. Winter tire tread patterns are designed to push water and slush to the sides allowing the tire to stay in better contact with the road surface.
  3. The install of winter tires helps to protect your summer rims and tires and get the most out of them by switching over.
When to get winter tires?
  1. The best time to get winter tires is in the fall before temperatures drop below 7C and before the first snowfall.
  2. Many motorists install winter tires in October to avoid the rush that happens at service departments after the first snowfall.
  3. Motorists should always check with their insurance providers as some have winter tire install guidelines.
