Kelowna: It’s Time To Replace Your Summer Tires

An intensive study from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation recently discovered that summer tires simply can’t compare to their winter alternatives. These options - which feature a high lateral stiffness that renders them too inflexible for snow, causing brittleness and eventual breakage - deliver weak traction, requiring an average of 43 metres to come to a full stop on icy roads. Winter tires, comparatively, require only 32 metres - a full 22% less. This, our Service Department believes, is too great a number to ignore.
Schedule an appointment with us today to request winter tires and let us trade your summer wheels for something far safer.
According to the Traffic Injury Research Foundation, the need for winter tires proves absolute - with Kelowna drivers able to reduce the chance of collision and enhance overall stability while traveling. During a recent study the organization discovered that (when compared to their all-season counterparts) these options promised safety.Â

Winter tires are the clear winner in this comparison - delivering improved traction. This is why we urge our customers to schedule an appointment with our Service Department before the season changes. Ensure that your vehicle is ready for even the worst weather with help from our technicians.Â

Winter is almost here - and with this comes a need for precise grippage. Your vehicle must be ready to face those wet-weather challenges; and tire treads must, therefore, deliver the necessary strength.Allow our Service Department to help you achieve optimal treads.
To ensure that tires properly perform on the highway, their treads should measure above 2-mm in depth. This promotes superior grippage, as well as optimises sipe functions (thin slits cut across the surface that provide increased traction). To fall below that number will result in ineffective torque distribution on slippery terrains.Â
Unsure if your tires measure up? Schedule an appointment with our team today and let us test your treads.
Kelowna: Understand The Importance Of Choosing Winter Tires

The numbers prove troubling - with Consumer Reports noting that approximately half of Canadian drivers believe their all-season tires will suffice for winter. There is no need, they claim, to make a change. It's too great a hassle with too little a reward.Our Service Department disagrees.
The value of winter tires has been (repeatedly) proven, with their seasonal-specific designs affording them improved grippage in sleet, snow, and slush; and, when comparing responses between vehicles properly equipped with these options and those that weren’t, Consumer Reports found a clear increase in traction performance.

The time has come, Vernon. Summer has ended; fall has begun; and winter is drawing ever-closer, leaving only mere weeks to ensure that your vehicle is prepped for the snow. Schedule a tire change today!As part of our Tire Changeover event - which has been newly extended to November 30th - we’re encouraging drivers to swap their all-season wheels for ones that are winter-worthy. These options are engineered for cold-weather challenges, boasting enhanced rubber compounds (which can accommodate fluctuating temperatures and remain flexible), deeper tread patterns (which afford improved grippage), and increased sipe densities (which generate traction on ice). Through this they assure superior control on BC roads, smoothly adjusting to even the harshest conditions.
All-season tires simply can’t compete.
