Do I Need Winter Tires?

Keep you and everyone around you safe this winter

Hello everyone! As a resident of the beautiful shores of Lake Superior in Canada, I know all too well the importance of having proper winter tires. Each year, we receive a good amount of snow and it’s crucial to have the right tires to keep us safe on the roads. I’ve been through my fair share of slippery situations, and trust me, having the right tires can make all the difference.

So do you need to get winter tires too?

Well that depends on where you live.

If you also frequently get a decent amount of snow or cold weather, then it would be a good idea, but if you are living in a climate where it never gets below freezing temperature, it’s probably not worth your time.

Should I Get Winter Tires for my Car?

Winter tires are recommended for areas with winter weather as they can help prevent sliding off the road and getting stuck in snow-clogged roads[1].

Winter tires should be replaced when the tread reaches 6/32 of an inch[2], and all-season tires should be replaced around 1/8 of an inch[2]. It is not recommended to keep winter tires on your vehicle all year long as it will cost more money in the long run[3].
