Get Ready for the Installation of Your Winter Tires

Winter tires

Every year, the Quebec winters have a way of taking us by surprise. It isn’t unusual to get heavy snowfall before the mandatory date for installing your winter tires, which will go from December 15 to December 1 starting in 2019. That’s why Solution Ford in Châteauguay invites you get into the habit of having your tires installed as early as possible.

Winter tires vs summer tires

Winter tires are adapted to our road conditions, with a softer rubber tread that gives them better traction, even on wet or icy pavement. A winter tire has deep grooves, which help it evacuate the snow, and the tread surface (the part of the tire that makes contact with the road) is generally 10 percent larger than that of a summer or all-season tire.

When should you install your winter tires?

A winter tire offers excellent traction, but because of the soft consistency of the tread, the heat of summer turns this traction into resistance. So the ideal time to install your tires is when outdoor temperatures fall to approximately 7 °C or lower. It’s at this temperature that your tires become effective. That’s why you should anticipate installing them around the beginning of October.

How do you choose the right tires?

The purchase of your tires is nothing to be careless about! Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that connects it to the road. So it’s essential to choose them wisely. The consultants in the Parts Department at Solution Ford are here to recommend the best winter tires, according to your location, the make and model of your vehicle, and the way you use it.

Expert installation of your winter tires

If you think you’ll save money by installing your tires at home, you better think again. Did you know that improper installation of your tires can lead to premature wear and tear, difficulty in operating your vehicle and even undesirable noise and vibrations? Correctly installing your tires on properly cleaned hubs, checking them for wear and tear, ensuring that the air pressure is in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, and balancing your wheels are all essential steps.

Contact Solution Ford today to make an appointment with our Service Department or to ask one of the experts in our Parts Department for tips on ordering the right winter tires for your vehicle!
