WINTER TIRES VS. ALL-SEASON TIRES: HOW DO THEY DIFFER?

As spring arrives and you put away your winter tires, you can choose between summer tires and all-season tires. Summer tires, also referred to as performance tires, are designed for optimal performance in warm weather, while all-season tires are built to perform adequately throughout all four seasons. However, due to Mississauga’s harsh winters, where temperatures often fall below 7°C, all-season tires may not be ideal for use throughout the entire year.

WHAT IS THE SPEED RATING OF A TIRE?

The speed rating is a letter code that indicates the maximum speed a tire can safely handle under optimal conditions. The ratings are designated by a letter, which corresponds to a specific speed limit. For instance with a Honda HR-V and CR-V is equipped with a tire code H, which means it can reach up to 210km/h under optimal conditions. Speed rating can be found on the tire’s sidewall as a the part of the tire code, usually listed after the tire size. for example 235/60/18 103H.

HOW TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE?

To inspect tire pressure, begin by removing the valve cap from the tire. Next, firmly press a tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem to obtain a reading. Compare this reading to the recommended pressure outlined in your vehicle’s manual or on the sticker positioned on the driver’s side door jamb. If the pressure is below the recommended level, add air until it reaches the appropriate level. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare if applicable. Lastly, ensure to securely replace the valve caps after checking the pressure.

WHAT THE BEST PLACE FOR TIRE STORAGE?

The best place to store your tires is in a cool, dry, and dark environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep them away from chemicals, solvents, and oils, as these can damage the rubber. Whenever possible, store the tires upright and stack them on their treads to avoid any deformation. Additionally, consider using tire storage bags or covers to protect them from dust and debris.
