Change of winter and summer tires
The tire installation every season is a guarantee of security and in Quebec, it is the even the law! Or at least, you must have winter tires from December 1st to March 15th. Indeed, even if they are called “4 seasons,” winter conditions reduce the adhesion of this type of tire. On the other hand, with autumn and especially summer, the winter tires become less efficient. There are a loss of grip caused by the heat emanating from the road’s asphalt.
The change of your car’s seasonal tires will keep you safe in the winter, but you will need to align the tires each time to re-balance them.
