Compare The Best All-Weather Tires In Canada: Shop Smart With TIRECRAFT

“What Are The Best All-Weather Tires In Canada?”

Just as every driver is different, so too is every tire design, which means there is no universal “best” all-weather tire. But there is a best-for-you, and your local TIRECRAFT can help you find it.

Read on to learn how to find the best all-weather tires in Canada, or contact your local TIRECRAFT to get personalized recommendations from a certified tire expert near you.

Shop Smart: How To Find The Best All-Weather Tires In Canada

When it comes to all-weather tire options, Canadians are spoiled for choice.

Not only do you have access to all the top all-weather tire makes and models, including the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, the Michelin CrossClimate+, the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, and the Toyo Celsius, but you can also find them all under one roof at your local TIRECRAFT.

But with so many options out there, how do you tell which tires are best for you?

To the average tire-buyer, all the best all-weather tires in Canada will pretty much look the same, with the same “variable condition” treads and the same Severe Snow Service rating, as indicated by the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol on the sidewall.

But there are important differences, differences that go deeper than what you see on the price tag, and your local TIRECRAFT can help you spot them, whether you choose to visit our shop for a consultation or DIY.

Let’s explore a few options:

1.    Trust Reputable All-weather Tire Rankings

Many independent tire-testers and consumer advocacy groups publish all-weather tire rankings, some of which include detailed breakdowns for dry/wet/snow performance, handling, comfort, noise, treadwear, and mileage.

And while these independent tire-testers won’t know what’s best for your unique driving needs, vehicle, and weather conditions, they can help you separate the wheat from the chaff, especially when you see certain makes and models consistently appearing at the top of their rankings.

For example, the Michelin CrossClimate, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, and Toyo Celius consistently appear in the top-5, and in that order, as seen in reports by TireRack, MotorTrend, and the Automotive Protection Association. Thus, even if you were to buy completely “blind” in other respects, chances are you’ll be quite happy with any of these three products.

2.    Dig Deeper Into Tire Feature Breakdowns

All the best all-weather tires in Canada will be Alpine symbol-certified, but beyond this basic signifier of severe snow performance, their designs vary widely.

And while that may sound like a complication, these differences in design can lead smart shoppers right to their perfect tire picks—all you need to do is identify your tire needs and find the design features to match.

For example:

  • If you’re facing severe snow and ice, the Firestone WeatherGrip is a fantastic option, offering a snow-focused design complete with full-depth grooves, open shoulder slots, zig-zagging sipes, and Snow Traction Claw technology.
  • If you’re looking for long-lasting tires, consider the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, which boasts a 105,000km tread life warranty that most other models can’t match.
  • If you’re looking for the best year-round performance, Michelin’s CrossClimate 2 fits the bill, striking a perfect balance between severe snow capabilities and warm-weather performance.

3.    Book A Free Consultation With All-weather Tire Experts

The best way to find the right tire fit also happens to be the quickest and easiest option: just book a free all-weather tire consultation at your local TIRECRAFT.
