Why do I need winter tires?

Winter tires are better suited to the hazardous conditions of Canadian roads than regular all-season tires. They are scientifically engineered to provide better traction, which increases your control on wet and icy surfaces.  

In some provinces around the country, putting winter tires on your car is the law. But even in provinces where winter tires are optional, they are an excellent way to help you traverse Canada’s treacherous winter roads safely.

And while winter tires are an investment (unless you, say...win a contest), installing them can earn you a little money back. Some auto insurance providers offer a discount to clients who install winter tires on their vehicle because they make for safer driving conditions.

It's time to get winter tires on your vehicle

For many people, the first significant snowfall of the year serves as a reminder to call the auto shop. But whether or not your place of residence has seen any of the white stuff yet, it’s a good idea to be proactive. Planning not only ensures you’ve got the right treads all winter, but it also means you won’t have to contend with the crowds clamouring to get their tires on in the wake of the first blizzard.

How to get winter tires on your car

You can get winter tires from many auto shops, and most will also install them. You can call around to see which shop offers the best price, but of course, there’s no better price than free. So let us cover the cost this year – sign up for an auto insurance quote and be entered for a chance to win.
