What is a Seasonal Tire Swap Service?

A seasonal tire swap service is when you swap your winter tires out for summer tires, and vice versa. With our long, intense winters and scorching summers, keeping your tires in season is an important part of life in Canada’s eastern provinces and will keep you safe all year long during your commutes and journeys across New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Which Tires Are Right For Your Vehicle?

Summer Tires/Performance Tires vs. All-Season Tires

Summer tires excel in wet or dry conditions in temperatures above 7°C and deliver superior agility, braking, and cornering performance for high-performance vehicles. All-Season tires also perform well in warm, wet/dry conditions, but feature a slightly deeper tread and play well with all vehicle types.

Winter Tires vs. All-Weather Tires

For temperatures below 7°C, winter tires are the masters of traction, designed to push away snow and grip onto icy roads with their deep, biting tread design. However, winter tires do not operate well in warmer temperatures and will wear very quickly if exposed. If your area deals with fluctuating temperatures, then All-Weather Tires might be the better bet for your vehicle, as their rubber compound stays pliable to keep you in control and suffers slower wear on warmer days.

Seasonal Tire Swap Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wonder Auto & Tire Offer Tire Storage?

Yes, Wonder Auto & Tire does offer tire storage services! When getting your tires swapped, ask us about storing your off-season set. We’ll keep them safe, in top condition, and ready to go as soon as you need them.

Is October Too Early For Winter Tires?

No, October isn’t too early to equip winter tires. In fact, it’s sensible to equip your winter tires sooner rather than later as soon as temperatures consistently trend below 7°C, as this ensures you beat the rush and retain full control of your vehicle even when the snow starts to fall.

Can You Use Winter Tires All Year Round?

No, winter tires should not be used all year round. Winter tires are made from a special soft rubber compound that is only designed for use in temperatures below 7°C, meaning winter tires soften, wear faster, and present a safety risk due to potential loss of vehicle control in warmer conditions. For year-round coverage, consider using winter-rated all-season tires.
