Common Questions About Tire Services
Ontario law requires winter tires by December 15. We recommend switching by mid-October as Etobicoke often experiences early snowfall. Winter tires provide superior grip when temperatures drop below 7°C, even without snow.
Check tire pressure every two weeks during winter as cold temperatures reduce pressure by 1 PSI for every 10°C drop. Underinflated tires reduce winter traction and increase fuel consumption in stop-and-go traffic.
Heavy urban traffic, expressway congestion, and salt-treated roads accelerate tire wear. The stop-and-go driving pattern on the Gardiner Expressway increases friction, reducing tire life by 15-25% compared to highway-only driving.
