Why You Should Buy Snow Tires Now!
Posted on September 25, 2024
With the school year starting and summer coming to a close, cooler weather is just around the corner—winter will be here before we know it. Now is the ideal time to get ahead of the game. Preparing early not only enhances your road safety but also offers multiple benefits that can save you time, money, and stress.
One key reason to buy snow tires in early fall is the advantage of having access to the best selection and pricing. Weissach has access to a wide variety of brands and models available at competitive prices before winter approaches. As the season progresses, demand for snow tires increases, which can lead to limited availability and higher costs. By shopping now, you can avoid the rush and choose from a broad range of options before inventory dwindles and prices rise.
Now is the time to find a great deal! Additionally, shopping early gives you ample time to research and compare different tires, allowing you to make an informed decision without the stress of last-minute purchases when winter weather hits and options are narrowed due to lack of availability.
Another factor is installation. By scheduling the install early, you will get a jump on the queue as we are already starting to book 2 weeks out. Just as with shopping, waiting until the last minute can lead to long lines and limited appointment slots. By addressing your winter tire needs now, you can avoid the seasonal rush and secure a convenient installation time. Contact our service department to schedule and install today before the last-minute rush!
Getting your snow tires installed before the winter rush also means your vehicle will be ready for early winter conditions, which can sometimes arrive unexpectedly. A proactive approach ensures your car is prepared for sudden weather changes.
It's important to remember that snow tires are not only for snowy roads—they excel in all cold weather conditions. When temperatures drop below 7°C, the rubber in all-season tires hardens, reducing their effectiveness. Winter tires are made with a flexible rubber compound that maintains traction, braking, and handling on cold, wet, or icy roads.
In British Columbia, winter tires or chains are mandatory on many routes starting October 1. Even in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, where rain is common, winter tires improve performance in wet and icy conditions, making them essential for all winter weather.
The enhanced control and stability provided by snow tires can significantly reduce the risk of accidents, particularly during the unpredictable weather common in British Columbia.
By purchasing snow tires early, you benefit from the best selection, avoid installation delays, and boost your safety and confidence on the road. With winter approaching, taking care of your tire needs now means one less worry, allowing you to enjoy the season with peace of mind.
