Winter Tires

With cold weather comes unfavourable snowy and icy driving conditions. When you’re in need of the best winter tires, come to Value Tire. We have a large inventory of winter tires for customers in Yorkton, SK, Regina, SK, Saskatoon, SK, and surrounding areas.

Do winter tires really make a difference on traction compared to all-season tires?

Winter tires have a softer rubber compound that is specifically designed for cold temperatures. The rubber stays pliable in cold temperatures to give you better traction on the road.

The tread also consists of sipes or small cuts designed to flex and bite at snow and ice covered roads. These sipes help disperse snow, provide better acceleration, and reduce braking distance.

When the temperature drops near freezing, all-season tires lose traction, while the rubber tread on winter tires remains pliable and maintains its grip. This is why winter tires are necessary when the winter weather hits in Saskatchewan!

Tips for Purchasing Winter Tires

  • Winter tires should be installed in sets of 4 to give you better control of your vehicle
  • Consider buying winter rims. They are better suited for handling abuse from winter conditions, like salt and grime
  • To prevent tires from deteriorating, store them in a temperate environment
  • Purchase and install your winter tires before snow falls to save yourself some stress

 

When choosing a set of winter tires, be sure to look for the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Designation. This logo, created by the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association, guarantees that the tires being purchased have met traction requirements and are recommended specifically for use in snow.

Winter tires can be a little pricey, but they promote peace of mind, your safety in winter conditions, and will save you money in the long run.
