When was the last time you checked the tread depth on your winter tires? If it’s been a few years (or never), grab a toonie and follow these steps from Skaha Ford in BC to see if it’s time to replace your winter tires.Checking the tread depth only takes a few seconds:
Â
• Place the toonie in between the tread blocks.
• If the tread reaches the bear’s paws, your tires have a safe amount of rubber remaining.
• If the silver part of the coin is covered by the tread block, your tires are 50 percent worn and now is a good time to shop around for a replacement.
• If the tread reaches the “Canada†or “Dollars†lettering, your tires are worn and must be replaced immediately.
• If the tread reaches the bear’s paws, your tires have a safe amount of rubber remaining.
• If the silver part of the coin is covered by the tread block, your tires are 50 percent worn and now is a good time to shop around for a replacement.
• If the tread reaches the “Canada†or “Dollars†lettering, your tires are worn and must be replaced immediately.
Driving with winter tires without sufficient tread depth is unsafe and not recommended. Your Ford will not only lack grip but your braking distance and vehicle control will be impaired. To ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers and fellow drivers, replace worn winter tires for optimal performance in wet, icy and snowy conditions.
Now is a great time to visit Skaha Ford in BC. Our Service Department is currently offering a Winter Performance Package, which offers brand-name winter tires at competitive prices. If your rubber is due for replacement, our experts will help you select the right tire for your Ford to keep you secure on Penticton’s roads.

The time has come – winter’s wicked arrival is imminent and with it will come harsh driving conditions in the form of ice, snow and freezing temperatures. To get your car, truck or SUV ready for the colder months, Skaha Ford is proud to offer our Winter Performance Package in BC.As part of this special promotion, we’re encouraging all drivers to make the switch to winter tires. In doing so, you’ll be better equipped to face cold-weather challenges with more grip and control.
Winter tires boast enhanced rubber compounds that kick into gear when the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius. They also feature deeper treads that bite through the snow for maximum rubber coverage on road surfaces while simultaneously pushing snow and slush away from the tire. Sipes, which are thin, squiggly grooves in the rubber, collect water and spit it out behind the tire as it rotates. The result is better traction in slippery conditions and improved stopping distances, too.
Protect all four corners of your Ford with winter tires, which are designed to perform in BC’s treacherous conditions. To learn more about our Winter Performance Package, contact our Service Department at Skaha Ford to speak with an advisor.
Whether you want to accept it or not, winter is headed to BC. And while you’re digging out toques, boots and warm coats for yourself, you should also consider the needs of your car or truck. This includes purchasing and installing a set of winter tires from Skaha Ford.The Okanagan region gets its fair share of cold snowy weather, which is why it’s important to equip your vehicle with winter tires. As the temperature drops, this causes summer and all-season tires to lose their traction and control on slick roads, especially when it hits 7 degrees Celsius. This is also the temperature where winter tires kick into performance, thanks to the special rubber compounds that are designed to improve surface grip.
Rather than risk your safety (and those around you) this season, visit our Service Department at Skaha Ford to speak with an advisor. We are currently offering a Winter Performance Package that connects our customers to the best winter tires at competitive prices. We’ll help you select the right tire for your vehicle and driving conditions and install them before the snow flies.
