Changing Out Winter Tires

Spring is here and now is a good time to think about switching out your winter tires. Winter tires are designed to perform best on ice and snow, not when the asphalt is hot from the sun. It’s not only unsafe, but it will also cost you money because the winter tires will degrade faster. Therefore, it’s imperative to change back to your normal tires at the right time.

It is recommended to switch out your winter tires when it is consistently above 7 degrees.
