Read moreShould you install your summer tires in March or April?
As all Canadians have in recent weeks, you have probably noticed that the temperature outside is getting warmer and spring appears to be just around the corner. With that in mind, you may be wondering when the right time is to install your summer tires. Well, let's take a look at the Weather Network has to say.
Yes, the Weather Network. That should be your go-to source to determine when the time is right to install your summer tires. That's because summer tires only perform well when the weather outside is above 7°C.
When it is colder than that, your summer tires will harden which will increase stopping distances and decrease stability. Driving on summer tires in cold weather will also accelerate the wear and tear of your summer tires.
You also have to consider the very real possibility that we will get a snowstorm sometime in late March or early April. According to the Weather Network, most regions in Canada get a snowstorm in April once every three years.
If you do not want to get caught with summer tires in a winter storm, and if you want to prevent driving with summer tires in cold temperatures, we recommend that you install your summer tires in the first or second week of April.
You can still book your appointment to have your summer tires installed today, however. This way, you will avoid the crowds and you will have your summer tires and shining new wheels just in time for spring.
We have a range of new summer tires for your Volkswagen vehicle including tires designed to improve fuel economy. Contact us today and we will make sure that you get the right set of tires for the upcoming summer season.
