Winter Tires vs. All-Season Tires: What Brampton Drivers Need to Know

Key Difference:

Winter tires stay flexible below 7°C. All-season tires harden in cold, reducing grip.

Stopping Distance:

Vehicles with winter tires stop up to 40% shorter on icy roads than those with all-season tires.

When to Switch:

• Install winter tires when temps drop below 7°C (Oct–Nov in Brampton)
• Switch back in April when temps stay above 7°C

Storage Tips:

• Cool, dry location away from sunlight
• Keep in tire bags to prevent cracking
• Have tires mounted and balanced when switching
