Driving in winter conditions can be treacherous. While winter/snow tires aren’t mandatory in Ontario like they are in other provinces, they do provide significant advantages when driving on icy, snowy roads.
When driving in cold, snowy, or icy weather winter tires are specifically designed to maintain traction. When normal tires get cold, the rubber hardens and they lose their grip. When winter tires get cold, their rubber remains soft so they maintain excellent traction. Winter tires are great for snow and ice, but they also help you maintain control even when it’s just plain cold.
Drivers in Ontario will receive a nice insurance discount just for having winter tires installed on their vehicles, thanks to a tax initiative that was passed in April 2015.
If you plan on driving in any cold weather winter conditions, it’s a good idea to have winter tires installed on your vehicle to stay as safe as possible. Here are some tips to consider when using winter tires.
At Orangeville Honda we want our customers to stay safe all year round. If have any questions about the best winter tires for your Honda, or if you’re ready to purchase a set, give us a call or stop by the dealership. We’ll be ready to get your vehicle winter-ready.
