Beginner’s Guide To Seasonal Tire Changeover: When To Book
Looking to book a seasonal tire changeover? You’re not alone!
According to the Tire and Rubber Association’s 2021 Winter Tire Report, nearly 70% of drivers now use snow tires in Canada, which means most people will need seasonal tire changeover services twice per year.
But when is it best to book? Scheduling your seasonal tire changeover too early can greatly reduce tire tread life and compromise driving performance, while booking too late can lead to long lineups, seasonal tire shortages, and road safety issues.
Don’t worry—Meadowvale Auto Repair Specialists are here to help. Read on to learn when to book your seasonal tire changeover to minimize wait times and maximize your savings, or call (905) 821-4992 to speak directly with a seasonal tire changeover expert in Mississauga, ON.
When To Book A Seasonal Tire Changeover In Mississauga
Most people opt for their winter tire changeovers in early-to-mid November, and switch back to summer/all-season tires in late April or early May.
However, since the rubber compounds used in all-season and winter tires only work in specific temperatures, you should consult your thermometer—not your calendar—to determine the right time for a seasonal tire changeover.
As a general rule, we recommend mounting winter tires when temperatures drop consistently below 7°C, and mounting all-seasons or summer tires when they rise back above this threshold.
If you live in Mississauga, where temperatures are already dipping below freezing during the daytime, you should have your winter tires or all-weathers on already. If you’re behind schedule, you’re missing out on peak performance and insurance discounts—but our team is standing by to help.
