With winter just around the corner, it\u2019s time to start thinking about swapping your summer tires for a more suitable set. While snow tires aren\u2019t mandatory in most of Canada, they do make winter driving much safer. To find out if you have the best snow tires for the task\u2014or to purchase new ones\u2014head to one of our workshops<\/a> to discuss your needs with an Certified Auto Repair expert. One thing\u2019s for sure: buying a new set of winter tires isn\u2019t something to take lightly. Here are some things you should consider to help you make the right choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where will you typically be driving? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Will the bulk of your winter driving take place in the city? In rural areas? On steep inclines? On the highway? Tire manufacturers design their products to accommodate motorists\u2019 different driving habits. If your daily commute involves the use of minimally maintained or off-the-beaten-path roadways (in mountainous terrain, for instance), then studded snow tires are probably your best bet.<\/p>\n

Some winter tires work best on snowy surfaces, while others are designed for performance on ice. High-traction tires are also available for vehicles used to haul heavy loads (like a snowmobile trailer). In any case, keep your typical winter driving habits in mind to make the right choice.<\/p>\n

Are the best winter tires also the most expensive? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A higher price tag is usually a good indicator of a tire\u2019s quality, but there are some caveats. Your winter tires should be suited to your vehicle\u2019s weight and suspension geometry, among other factors. The bottom line: you\u2019ll get better results with budget tires that perfectly fit your vehicle than with top-of-the-line ones that don\u2019t. To find the best winter tires for your specific vehicle, speak with an expert at your nearest Certified Auto Repair.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When is the ideal time to install snow tires?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Experts recommend having your winter tires installed as soon as outdoor temperatures hover around 7 \u00b0C for a few days. Don\u2019t wait until the first snowfall! Equipping your vehicle with a good set of snow tires is one of the best ways to keep yourself and others safe on winter roads.<\/p>\n
