Why Tire Swaps Are Important?
Parry Sound’s road conditions can change in an instant depending on the weather, and they won’t wait for you to get prepared. Your car needs the right tires for the specific weather or road conditions it faces. The tricky part is that tires are not one-size-fits-all. Think about it, have you ever tried wearing winter boots in the middle of summer? Of course not, because they’re made for colder weather and would be uncomfortable for hot conditions. The same concept applies to your Ford’s tires. Winter tires are made to stay flexible in cold weather, which gives you better grip when roads get slippery. On the other hand, summer and all-season tires are built for warmer temperatures, which help to prevent hydroplaning in rain and offer traction on dry pavement.
When you skip a tire swap, it can cause unnecessary wear, meaning you’ll need replacements sooner. Worse, mismatched tires affect your Ford’s handling and performance, which potentially leads to more costs down the line. And here’s an added bonus: properly timed tire swaps could even help you save on insurance premiums in Ontario. So, why take the risk? It’s time to book your tire swap with us today.
When Should You Schedule a Tire Swap?
When is the best time to get your Ford’s tires swapped? Life is busy, and making the swap too early or too late can both lead to unnecessary hassle. The key is to monitor the temperatures and make the switch at the right time. As a general rule recommended by tire manufacturers, winter tires should go on when the temperatures consistently drop below 7°C, ideally before the first snowstorm hits, by late October or early November. Once temperatures are consistently above 7°C, it’s time to swap back to all-season or summer tires. Not a thermometer watcher? Breaking out snow boots or sunscreen means it’s time for a tire change, too.
Beyond seasonal swaps, general tire changes should be based on tire wear and age. Typically, tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch or if you see damage that can’t be repaired.
