Snow tires are specifically designed to deal with our Canadian winters and all the ice, snow & salt that is on the road.  The safety features on your vehicle are of little help if you don't have the proper tires for handling the weather.

All-season tires tend to stiffen and lose gripping power at around zero Celsius.  Snow tires are designed with softer & more durable rubber compounds that help your vehicle grip the road during very cold weather as well as added groove capacity to help get rid of any excess snow. All-season tires just can't compare.  Installing snow tires can mean the difference in getting your vehicle and your family home safely during bad weather.

This year, we are again pleased to provide you with 3 levels of winter tire protection: (1) Toyo tires are our recommended tire-of-choice because of their extremely high winter performance, high quality manufacture, excellent durability and sensible price; (2) Blizzak tires offers premium winter driving characteristics but can be more expensive and may not have the longevity you require, and; economical tire choices that may offer a savings over other tire options will cover your basic winter needs.

Note: Most tire manufacturers are offering mail-in rebates. Contact a parts representative for details.

Toyo Tires

We have stocked more Toyo winter tires than any other brand so we can supply you with these terrific products!

TOYO has seriously improved traction through technology. New tread design, new tread compound and a wider footprint give increased winter performance.

Toyo features exclusive Microbit Technology with ground walnut shells that dig into snow and ice combined with a tread design and special winter rubber compounds that offer improved winter traction. The results are environmentally friendly winter tires that have significantly reduced noise and improved ride comfort compared to studded tires.

Silica in the tread compound helps improve wet traction, allows the rubber to retain its softness in low temperature conditions and resists hardening with age.

 

Blizzak Tires

Note: Blizzak tires may require special order, potentially extending wait-time for installation.

BLIZZAK Performance winter / snow tires feature high-performance winter tread compounds molded into directional tread designs that provide thousands of biting edges to combine stop and go traction in snow with responsive handling in wet and dry road conditions.

BLIZZAK Studless Ice & Snow tires feature a patented MULTICELL compound that contains millions of microscopic pores to help grip ice without the use of studs.

Steel Wheels

We recommend Genuine Toyota steel rims to complement your winter tires because it will save money in the long run. To mount and balance four tires is $87.00. This price is included in the tire and rim package. Simply purchasing winter tires without rims will result in mounting and balancing charges twice a year. Toyota Original Equipment rims are priced compatibly and after two seasons will pay for themselves in the money and time you will save.

Genuine Toyota steel rims are designed to fit you vehicle perfectly with a self-centering hub.

14 inch steel rims………………..$ 60.00 each

Winter Wheel Nuts

Using closed ended winter wheel nuts will greatly reduce the chance of the wheel bolts rusting. The tapered edge will allow the nut to fit against the steel rim properly to insure a correct fit. Using alloy wheel nuts on steel rims will not fit correctly and will rust the washer. When this occurs the expensive alloy wheel nuts will require replacement.
