Snow tires are specifically designed to deal with our Canadian winters and all the ice, snow & salt that is on the road.  The safety features on your vehicle are of little help if you don't have the proper tires for handling the weather.

All-season tires tend to stiffen and lose gripping power at around zero Celsius.  Snow tires are designed with softer & more durable rubber compounds that help your vehicle grip the road during very cold weather as well as added groove capacity to help get rid of any excess snow. All-season tires just can't compare.  Installing snow tires can mean the difference in getting your vehicle and your family home safely during bad weather.

This year, we are again pleased to provide you with 3 levels of winter tire protection: (1) Toyo tires are usually our recommended tire-of-choice because of their extremely high winter performance, high quality manufacture, excellent durability and sensible price; (2) Our premium winter driving choices (usually Pirelli but may vary depending on vehicle) offer excellent winter driving characteristics  but can be more expensive and may not have the longevity you require, and; (3) Economical tires offer a significant savings over many other tire options and are a reasonable choice that will cover your basic winter needs.

Note: Most tire manufacturers are offering mail-in rebates. Contact a parts representative for details.

Toyo Tires

TOYO has seriously improved traction through technology. New tread design, new tread compound and a wider footprint give increased winter performance.

It features exclusive Microbit Technology with ground walnut shells that dig into snow and ice combined with a tread design and special winter rubber compounds that offer improved winter traction. The results are environmentally friendly winter tires that have significantly reduced noise and improved ride comfort compared to studded tires.

Silica in the tread compound helps improve wet traction, allows the rubber to retain its softness in low temperature conditions and resists hardening with age.

 

We Strongly Suggest:

Alloy Wheels

We recommend alloy rims to complement your winter tires because it will save money in the long run. To mount and balance four tires is approx. $110.00. This price is included in the tire and rim package. Simply purchasing winter tires without rims will result in mounting and balancing charges twice a year. Alloy rims are priced compatibly and after approx. two seasons will pay for themselves in the money and time you will save.
