As winter approaches, many drivers prepare by swapping to winter tires, designed for optimal traction on icy and snowy roads. But when the time comes for seasonal tire changes, many drivers have questions about where and how to properly store their old set of tires, and when the best time is to change between the two. Fortunately, the team here at Waterloo Kia in Ontario offers winter tire storage for drivers who don’t have space at home. Below, we’ve broken down everything drivers need to know.
Switching to winter tires isn’t just about the first snowfall: Temperature is also an important consideration. Winter tires perform best at temperatures below 7°C, as their rubber compound stays soft and maintains grip even in freezing conditions. When temperatures start dropping consistently below this point, it’s time to consider making the change. This often occurs around late fall.
