The Importance of Swapping to Winter Tires
We take the safety of our customers seriously at Erin Mills Acura in Mississauga, Ontario. That's why we think it's so important to encourage you to change your tires for winter. Since winters are unpredictable in Ontario, all-season tires may not be sufficient. Here's what you should know about the importance of swapping to winter tires.
Benefits of Winter Tires
Winter tires are especially essential for those drivers whose travels may take them off the beaten path and onto roads that aren't well-maintained. It's also wise to invest in them if you have to drive your vehicle daily, regardless of what the weather brings. These tires are made of compounds that are specifically formulated to stand up to icy conditions. They also feature strategically designed tread that ensures better traction on snowy, slippery roads.
When to Swap Tires
Even if you have a set of winter tires, it might be a good idea to invest in new ones. Innovative technology is constantly being implemented, making the most modern tires particularly efficient at gripping the road's surface and directing water away from tires to avoid hydroplaning. It's recommended that you have winter tires installed when the weather falls below 7 degrees Celsius on a consistent basis. You'll also want to have all four tires replaced for optimal safety and performance. Winter tires provide better traction and improved braking capability. Plus, they won't freeze. Winter tires are a powerful tool in the prevention of accidents. If you need new wheels, visit our online Tire Centre.
