The TIRECRAFT Transition: Switching From Fall To Winter Tires This November
Leaves falling, colours changing, and the colder temperatures setting in are all signs that the cold is here! This means, making sure to prepare your vehicle for the weather. At TIRECRAFT, we understand the importance of preparing your vehicle for the changing seasons, and one crucial aspect of this transition is switching from fall to winter tires. Let’s delve deeper to understand the importance of switching your tires.
Why Are Winter Tires Important?
Winter tires are not just a precautionary measure but they are also a necessity for safe winter driving. Unlike all-season tires, winter tires are specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of cold weather and icy road conditions. The rubber compounds in winter tires remain flexible in low temperatures, ensuring better traction and grip.
The tread patterns of winter tires are designed with deeper grooves and biting edges to provide enhanced traction on snow and ice. This helps to reduce the chances of slipping and sliding, which in turn promotes better control of your vehicle during winter.
When Is The Right Time To Install Winter Tires?
November is the perfect time to make this switch and ensure your safety on the winter roads. It allows you to beat the rush that often accompanies the first snowfall. By getting ahead of the winter weather, you can avoid long wait times and ensure that your vehicle is ready for the cold.
Many people wait until the first snow showers to change their tires, but that is not necessary. Remember that when the temperatures start falling below 7 degrees, it would be best to drive around with tires that are built for this very purpose. Bring your vehicle to any TIRECRAFT location and we will be happy to replace them for you.
Are Winter Tires Mandatory?
By law, Quebec and British Columbia are the only two provinces that require you to drive with winter tires. That being said, the rest of the provinces should also not take this matter lightly as safety should be your priority. Driving on slippery roads can be very dangerous especially when you are travelling with loved ones.
