What's the best time to get winter tires for my Hyundai?

Installing winter tires now would be a great idea. We're getting below 7°C outside a lot. As a result, if you're still driving on summer or all-season tires, they'll harden and lose grip, as well as being less effective when braking. Now you've got some time, but we'd suggest booking an appointment as soon as possible. If the snow starts falling, at least you'll have winter tires on your car.

How can I check if I need new winter tires?

You need to measure the tread depth of your winter tires to see if they're still good. You want your winter tires to have at least 4.8 mm of tread to last you all winter. Your tires won't last until spring if they have tread depth under 4.8 mm and if they get to 4.0 mm, they will be significantly less effective in slippery conditions.

Do I need winter wheels to go with my winter tires?

Getting winter wheels will protect your summer wheels, which can be more expensive to replace or repair. Additionally, if you get winter wheels for your Hyundai, you can reduce the size of your winter tires by an inch which saves you money on winter tires. It's a win-win because you protect your car's value and you'll save money. Give our tire centre a call to learn more about our winter tires.
