Winter Tires

Snow Tires

What are they and do you need them?

Once October is here, and temperatures have dropped across the country. That means it’s time to put on your car’s winter tires. And if you don’t have winter tires, perhaps you should consider it.

A few things make it a winter tire. First of all, they have big blocks of tread and deep grooves to bite into the snow. Second, when cornering, they tend to have a squared shoulder to dog in the snow. The multiple compound of rubber is the reason why winter tires are not only for snow and ice. The winter tires really excel on dry pavement where all-season tires tend to be less efficient.

However, there are some major downsides to winter tires. At smaller temperatures, typically  7 degrees and below, they offer you more grip, but they have less grip than other tires above 7 degrees. That implies you need to switch to all-season or summer tires in springtime. The cost of the second set set of tires is there, you typically pay to have them switched twice a year, and then the issue of storing the second set is there. There’s a nice amount of space for four tires.

Perhaps most important for powerful performance cars are winter tires. Often this sort of vehicle comes with normal summer tires, in contrast to winter tires. When it’s hot, they offer you stronger grip, but when it’s cold, they’re straight harzardous.

All-season tires are better than they ever were, and for most individuals they’re going to work. But winter tires and summer tires are the way to go if you want the complete highest output at all temperatures.

All Weather Tires

Do “All Weather” Tires Work in Alberta?

Depends on if you’re looking for a do-it-all tire that can bring you through a heatwave to a snowstorm, the trick could be done by all-weather tires.

They have specially crafted tread designs and improved rubber compounds that offer to rival winter and snow tires momentum in cold weather and perform well under milder circumstances, comparable to all-season tires.

Make sure you have tires it’s correct for you to get traction this winter. And don’t forget in the warmer months to check your tire pressure. Under-inflated tires wear out more quickly and may also pose a danger to safety.

Studded Tires

Yes they are legal in Calgary?

Are you tired every winter of buying snow tires and finding that you still need more traction? We’re offering the best alternative at the Car Salon Tire Shop –  studded tires. We also give removal of tire studs when studded tires are no longer required seasonally. In Calgary & surrounding regions, we serve clients. Do not be unprepared when the winter climate strikes tough!

So what are tires that are studded? We bring your fresh tires and insert in the tread layout of the tire 80 to 100 studs per tire into holes molded. Studs look like short, flat nails and are made up of two main parts. The carbide pin of tungsten protrudes beyond the pneumatic tread and contacts the pavement surface, while the outside of the stud is held in the tire tread at its base. Studs are placed flat-head-down and for spreading the rubber and inserting the stud we use a unique device. Only fresh tires can be studded, as riding debris and worn tread will influence the process and stop the studding of tires.

What occurs at the end of winter when you no longer need your studded winter tires? At the Car Salon, we are offering stud removal. If the tires are comparatively new and the tread depth remains important, we can remove the snow tire stud by lubricating the studs and removing the studs by twisting each one with pliers. Even if the tires are older but still have a reasonable tread depth, we can still give stud removal, although without the studs, the wheels will now have less traction. We conduct stud removal for older tires in the same way as on newer tires, but we also submerge tires in a water tank to verify that air bubbles do not exist.

Air pressure should be checked daily once the studs are removed to guarantee that there are no leaks. Whether your tires are old or new, our qualified experts will ensure that your tires are in great driving condition once the studs have been removed.
