WHY BUY WINTER TIRES?

Why buy winter tires?

By: Dale Sheppard, Marketing Coordinator

If you asked me last week “Why should I buy winter tires?” My answer would have been “because you’re supposed to!”

Every winter like clockwork, I always make an appointment to get my winter tires put on. I never questioned why, I just did it. I knew there was a benefit to having winter tires and always knew that safety was involved, but that was the extent of my knowledge. I found it very helpful when I recently read an article about the science of winter tires. It was a short read packed with information on impact speed, rubber compound, temperature and wet roads.

My desk at work is next to our service department and at this time of year the phones are ringing off the hook with requests to book in tire changes. You can call our service department at 613-382-8500 or easily book online with our online appointment system.
