When to Change Winter Tires In Ontario

The 7 Degree Rule

When to Change Winter Tires In Ontario

Do you ever wonder when you should be changing your winter tires? The question is a common one for drivers in Markham, and the answer is simpler than you might think. Our experts at your local Infiniti dealership in Markham, Canada, can provide guidance to help you prepare for the upcoming winter season.

The 7-Degree Rule

The most crucial rule for installing winter tires is to do so when the daily average temperature consistently drops to 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit) or below.

  • In our region, this typically occurs from late October to mid-November.
  • This is a temperature-based decision, not a weather-based one.

The rubber compound in a good winter tire is specifically designed to remain pliable and maintain optimal grip in cold conditions. Unlike all-season or summer tires, which can harden and lose traction in the cold, winter tires provide enhanced safety and performance.

Why Your Vehicle Needs Winter Tires

Even without snow on the ground, having the proper tires in cold weather is a matter of safety and performance.

  • You will experience a noticeable improvement in how your Infiniti handles on cold, dry pavement.
  • Winter tires ensure you are ready when the first major winter storm hits.
  • They provide superior traction and control on icy roads and in deep slush.

Find Your Winter Tires Here

If your vehicle is still equipped with all-season or summer tires, now is the ideal time to consider a winter tire sale or explore our selection of good winter tires. We offer a variety of winter tires for sale that are a perfect match for your Infiniti. We can also assist you in selecting the right rims for winter tires to protect your vehicle's alloy wheels from road salt and debris.
