Winter tire changeovers

Once the temperature stays at or below 7°C, winter tires grip the road far better than all seasons. Booking your changeover before the first big snow saves you from the rush when everyone remembers at once.

Rotation and balancing

Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, so they last longer. Balancing keeps the wheel and tire spinning smoothly, which stops vibration in the steering wheel at highway speed. Both are quick jobs that pay off over the life of a set of tires.

When it's time for new tires

  • The tread is worn down, especially for winter driving
  • You see cracks, bulges or cuts in the sidewall
  • One edge is wearing much faster than the other
  • The tires are getting old, even with tread left

Uneven wear often points to an alignment problem. If that's what you're seeing, ask about a wheel alignment at the same visit.
