It’s vital to choose tires that are appropriate for the season to improve your safety and get the most out of both.<\/p>\n Winter tires are constructed of a softer rubber compound that keeps them flexible in cold conditions, allowing the tire to adhere better to the road surface. Winter tires have larger tread depths (2 mm deeper than summer tires), which prevent snow buildup and improve grip and traction on snowy surfaces.<\/p>\n The tread pattern is also designed to channel snow and slush while also expelling water. To improve grip on ice, winter tires have a higher number of biting edges and a higher sipe density. When compared to having all-season tires in the winter, these distinct characteristics allow drivers to easily navigate snow-covered terrain by providing improved grip, controllability, and steering response.<\/p>\n They have natural rubber, which quickly becomes harsh and loses its optimal characteristics for safe circulation when temperatures drop.<\/p>\n The hard rubber is intended for use in much warmer temperatures, where it provides better road grip, handling, and a shorter stopping distance.<\/p>\n Winter tires perform best when the temperatures are below 70<\/sup>\u00a0C while summer\/all-season tires provide maximum performance at temperatures above 70\u00a0<\/sup>C.<\/p>\n Switching between summer and winter tires at the appropriate time will extend tire life, increase vehicle safety, and improve overall vehicle performance.<\/p>\n Shop Winter Tires<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Once the temperature dips to 70\u00a0<\/sup>C or below, it is time to change to winter tires. At this temperature, winter tires improve vehicle stability and grip in any road condition.<\/p>\n You will need certified winter tires (tires bearing the 3-PMSF symbol) to drive through mountain passes in British Columbia from October 1st to March 31st.<\/p>\n Although it is not required in some provinces, driving with a 3-PMSF certified tire is always preferable for safety and peace of mind.<\/p>\n There are two ways to change your tires for the season: a\u00a0tire changeover<\/strong>\u00a0or a\u00a0tire swap.<\/strong>\u00a0The service you select is determined by whether you have a set of winter tires on winter wheels and, of course, how much you are willing to spend on the change.<\/p>\n To maintain your vehicle’s performance and stability, we recommend replacing all four tires with winter tires.<\/p>\n Trail Tire Auto Centers North West, Edmonton offers tire swapping as well as tire changeover services.
