The Evolution Of Auto Service: Trends And Innovations In Canada

We are heading towards the end of the year which means that winter is almost here. While you bring out the warm clothes and start your heater, it is important to also look into the well-being of your vehicle. This means that the important thing to consider for your vehicle is getting winter tires.

As you are aware, new cars and SUVs are becoming more expensive, which is why, many people are keeping their vehicles for a longer time than they originally planned. Some people even decide to buy new and more efficient winter tires for added safety. As you know, keeping your vehicle maintained, will only prove to be more beneficial for you. A car that gives you your money’s worth for years, is definitely a great investment. Here is why you need winter tires and some of the latest winter tire innovations that are here to stay.

The Need For Winter Tires

In Canada, where winter’s icy grip can be relentless, the importance of winter tires cannot be overstated. These specialized tires are not just a luxury but a necessity, ensuring safety and peace of mind during the harshest months.

Winter tires are designed with unique tread patterns and rubber compounds, making them a reliable choice for freezing temperatures. This exceptional grip helps vehicles navigate snow-covered roads and icy surfaces with greater control and reduced braking distances. With Canada’s diverse climate and unpredictable weather, we at TIRECRAFT urge all our customers to choose winter tires as they enhance traction and stability while minimizing the risk of accidents.

Investing in winter tires isn’t just a smart choice; it’s a decision that can save lives and make wintertime travel considerably safer for you and your loved ones.

New Trends In Winter Tires

Innovations are constantly taking place in the tire industry to ensure you get the best. Here are some of the improved trends you’ll see in the 2023 tires.

  • The latest winter tires are better for stopping on snowy roads. They work well because they are made with special compounds and a special kind of tire pattern. The pattern with deep, wide, and jagged lines gives a good grip on snowy roads the tires with shallow lines are more for comfort and control. When you buy winter tires, get the kind that’s best for where you drive, off-road or regular roads.
  • While shopping for winter tires, it’s crucial to look out for a tire that showcases the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol, also known as the ‘Alpine’ symbol, on its side. Transport Canada recognizes that tires bearing this emblem satisfy the rigorous performance standards for snow traction and are crafted to excel in extreme snow conditions.
  • There are now eco-friendly tires that work just as well as the other tires. Thanks to technology, these environmentally friendly tires come with the benefit of reduced rolling resistance, which means that they have a greater ability to minimize the friction between the tire’s tread and the road surface. How is this beneficial for your vehicle? A decrease in rolling resistance results in lower CO2 emissions and enhances the fuel efficiency of your vehicle.

The tire industry is continually adapting to meet the needs of Canadian drivers. At TIRECRAFT, we are dedicated to staying at the forefront of these trends, ensuring that your winter tire experience is as safe, convenient, and efficient as possible.
