TIRE TIPS
If you haven’t started shopping for winter tires yet, now is the time — this is the peak season for snow tire purchases.
Buying winter tires requires careful decision-making, as many customers are often misled by shady deals and offers.
The first and most important step before buying winter tires is to check your vehicle's tire size.
This size is usually printed on the tire’s sidewall.
It’s best to get tires that match the manufacturer’s recommended size, but in some cases, an alternative size can also be used.
Always buy tires in a full set of four — not just a pair of two.
Getting only two tires for an all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or rear-wheel drive vehicle can lead to serious safety risks.
Without snow tires on all four wheels, you risk unbalanced handling on slippery roads, which could cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
That’s why installing four winter tires — for both front and rear — is always the safest option.
Don’t assume that higher prices mean better performance. You can often save money by taking advantage of discounted deals and seasonal offers.
If the original tire size is too expensive, automotive experts can help assess suitable alternative sizes that are more budget-friendly.
Winter tires are the ideal choice for smooth and safe driving in Canada’s extreme cold conditions.
