Your Complete Guide to Winter Tires for Your Toyota

Your Complete Guide to Winter Tires for Your Toyota

As the temperature drops below 7°C, tires not designed for winter use harden and lose grip, compromising braking effectiveness. It's time to think about installing winter tires on your Toyota for safety and performance in winter conditions.


Checking Your Tires' Condition


Before installing winter tires, confirm they have a tread depth of at least 4 mm, as recommended by Transport Canada. Ideally, aim for a depth of 4.8 mm to ensure they last the entire season. Our experts can help you measure tread depth, avoiding tire performance issues during the winter.


Choosing the Right Winter Tires


Selecting the right winter tires involves considering several factors and our winter tire experts are certainly here to help. We are here to ensure that you find the right winter tires for your specific needs. It is important to consider these needs when thinking about your winter tires.


  1. Driving Environment:
  • Prioritize tires based on the type of winter weather in your region. Opt for snow-focused tires for heavy snowfall areas and ice-performing tires for freezing rain or slush-prone regions.
  1. Driving Habits:
  • Your driving style and frequency matter. For highway driving, choose tires designed for high speeds. For off-road or trail driving, seek specialized tires.
  1. Toyota Vehicle Type:
  • Your specific Toyota model affects your tire needs. We cater to a range of vehicles, from hybrids to heavy-duty trucks, with varying tire requirements. Our experts understand these differences and can help you choose the right winter tires for your vehicle.
