Tire Changeover
Having the right tires for each driving season and swapping them out for the appropriate weather, will help extend their lifetime and ensure your vehicle is ready to handle all road conditions.
With our fluctuating weather conditions in Manitoba, it is impossible to give an exact date for when you should swap your tires from Winter tires to Seasonal tires. We recommend swapping once there is no more risk of snow or frost or when the temperature consistently stays about 7 degrees Celsius.
Our knowledgeable Service and Parts experts are here to help you find the right tires to fit your vehicle and driving needs.
Tire Facts
We recommend rotating your tires every second oil change
Tire replacement is necessary when the tread depth indicator shows less than 2/32 of tread left. A tire's built-in tread wear indicators look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread and become visible as the tire surface wears. Different causes such as wheel alignment and overinflated/underinflated tires may cause different tire wear patterns.
This could cause:
- Premature or irregular wear
- Poor handling
- Reduced fuel economy
- Overheating, which could lead to a blowout
This could cause:
- Unusual wear
- Poor handling
- Rough ride
It is recommended you replace your tires, even your spare, after 6 years regardless of the tread. Multiple factors including temperature, loading conditions, and inflation pressure maintenance can affect how fast tires age.
Other signs that your vehicle may need tire replacement:
- You can see three or more tread wear indicators around the tire
- The tire tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric
- The tire has a bulge or split
- The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can't be repaired correctly
