Are you thinking... isn't an all-season tire okay in the West Coast winter?

No. The reality is they should be used in the spring, summer and fall cause the compound is designed for long life, not winter traction. The other thing to consider is that winter tires are not just snow tires. Back in the day, winter tires had big, knobby chunks of rubber and they were really only good in snow. 
There are many times during a Vancouver winter that the roads are exposed or wet, and not covered in snow. Modern winter tires continue to stay soft and pliable, providing the grip you need in all winter driving situations.
If there is one certainty in weather… it’s the change of seasons. 

When a regular all-season or summer tire experiences cold temperature, they become hard.

All-season tires aren't designed to stay soft in cold temperatures. Now think of this - a hockey puck. When it comes in contact with cold the ice surface, it becomes hard and slides. That's something you don’t want in a Tire in Winter to do.

Winter tires, in contrast to all-season tires, are specially formulated to stay soft and contour to the road surface even if there is no snow or ice. They provide a level of grip, stability, handling and braking capability that regular tires simply can’t.

If you are planning on buying winter tires don’t wait too long. 

The good news is that the earlier you shop the more selection you have. But what tire is right for your vehicle? Let Gorm or Kasey at NTW help you with their vast knowlegde and expertise.

The reality is that winter is coming and the better prepared you are the easier it will be to manage. Looking at the research and choosing the right winter tire for your vehicle provides a level of safety and grip that you simply cannot get with an all-season tire. So the next time you head outside and you can see your breath, you want to start thinking about winter tires. 

Get them early, book your appointment
today, so you don't have to wait!
