Why Do I Need To Swap My Tires?

Living in beautiful Alberta has many advantages, but one downside is that harsh winters can be hard on cars. From tires to car batteries, freezing temperatures can negatively affect the performance and longevity of your vehicle. However, regular maintenance can help keep your Lexus running smoothly. 

Winter vs All-Season Tires

Having two sets of tires for your vehicle is a reality of living in Canada. Winter tires are made from a softer rubber compound than other tires and allow for better flexibility and traction in cold weather. However, this softer rubber can wear out faster in warm weather and significantly reduce the lifespan of your winter tires.

Conversely, all-season or summer tires are made from a harder rubber compound. Extreme weather causes all-season or summer tires to become rigid, reducing grip and traction in snow. While all-season tires may be great for all seasons in other parts of the world, Canada isn’t one of them. Having season-appropriate tires is crucial to a safe driving experience!

In fact, any Albertans taking winter road trips in British Columbia legally need to have winter tires on certain highways from October 1st to April 30th. While Alberta doesn’t have any legislation regarding winter tires, we strongly recommend having a set of winter tires when temperatures are consistently below 7°C.

Saves Long-Term Costs

Even if we ignore any safety or performance concerns (like sliding on ice and snow on summer tires), swapping your tires can help save on maintenance costs. While it may seem counterintuitive to pay for two sets of tires, it’s cheaper than regularly replacing worn tires that don’t reach their lifespan potential. 

Where To Get Tires Swapped in Edmonton

As spring approaches, temperatures are slowly increasing. We recommend changing to all-season or summer tires once temperatures are consistently above 7°C. Our Lexus South Pointe team can swap tires for you, and also offers seasonal tire storage, a wide selection of new tires available for purchase, and tire maintenance assistance. 

Tire Storage

So, where should you store off-season tires? They should be kept flat in a cool, dry location that’s out of direct sunlight. We offer tire storage at our location and can conveniently hold your tires onsite until your next tire swap appointment. 

Tire Rotation and Balance

Tire rotation and balance can help extend the tires’ lifespan and enhance vehicle handling. Rotating tires ensures that tread wear is even across all four tires, and no one tire is worn more than the others. Our Lexus technicians recommend inspecting tires every 8,000km (or every six months, whichever comes first) and rotated as required.
