Summer is just coming to an end and no one wants to admit it, but we have some harsh news for you: winter driving conditions will be there before you know it. Let’s face it, we live in the Saskatchewan, and that means snow, ice, and sub-zero temperatures often start showing their faces before the end of October. So, are you ready for winter driving? If not, now it the time to get your winter tires installed.
A lot of people wait until the last possible moment to have their winter tires installed. The only problem with that is, once the first snowflake hits the ground people all over the Meadow Lake area rush to have their tires installed. Act now and have your tires installed by PineRidge Ford in no time. Beat the rush and be prepared for winter before it arrives.
While summer tires and winter tires look a lot alike, they are made of very different materials. Summer tires begin to lose their grip and effectiveness when the temperature dips below 7 degrees Celsius. In Meadow Lake it can be lower than 7 degrees by mid-October or sooner. Winter tires are made of special rubber compounds and treads that are designed to grip frozen roads and limit slipping on ice.
Don’t take a chance with winter driving. Make sure you and your passengers are safe and sound — have your winter tires installed today and beat the rush.
