Tire season is here. If you have not switched from winter to summer tires yet, now is the time. And if your summer tires are worn, assess them before the season starts.
When to Switch in Mississauga
Switch when overnight temperatures are consistently above 7 degrees Celsius. In Mississauga that falls between mid-April and early May. Winter tires wear significantly faster on warm pavement.
How to Check If Summer Tires Need Replacing
Use the quarter test: insert a Canadian quarter with the caribou nose pointing down into the tread. If you can see the tip of the nose, tires are at or below 4/32 inch and should be replaced. Also check for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. Tires older than 6 years should be carefully inspected.
