TIRES TYPES EXPLAINED


Click here for more information:

Winter, all-season, and all-weather tires differ in their tread depth, rubber composition, and performance in different conditions: 

Winter tires
Designed for severe snow conditions, winter tires have: 
Tread: Deeper treads to grip snow and slush 
Rubber: Special rubber that stays flexible in cold temperatures 
Performance: Can stop up to 40% faster than all-season tires 
Symbol: Marked with the mountain-and-snowflake Alpine symbol 

All-season tires
Suitable for dry, wet, and warm weather conditions, all-season tires have: 
Tread: Moderate tread depth for various conditions 
Rubber: Harder rubber that lasts longer 
Performance: Can handle light snow but may not be optimal in heavy snow or ice 

All-weather tires

A hybrid of winter and summer tires, all-weather tires have: 
Tread: Aggressive tread pattern for both summer and winter 
Rubber: Unique rubber compound that stays flexible across a wide temperature range 
Performance: Decent performance in heavier snow and can also perform in warm temperatures 
Symbol: Many top brands' all-weather tires display the Three- Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol 

In some parts of the country, drivers must use winter tires. For example, winter tires are mandatory in Quebec from December 15th to March 15th.
