If you live in a country with a climate that varies widely across seasons, as we do here in Canada, it is your responsibility as a car owner to ensure that you equip your vehicle with the right tires for the weather.
Burlington Auto Service recommends that when the weather becomes warmer or colder that you go to the automotive shop and get your seasonal tires installed.
Though vastly different, both winter and summer tires are essential to ensure your vehicle is performing optimally, you are not damaging components of your vehicle, and that you aren’t compromising safety.
Winter tires were not meant to operate in the heat, just as summer tires are not made for the cold. Therefore, if someone leaves their summer tires on during the winter they would be compromising their traction, anti-lock brake system, and all-wheel drive capabilities. On the other hand, if winter tires are installed during the summer, they will overheat causing the tread to wear, also compromising traction.
Now that you know how important it is to change your seasonal tires, you may be asking: ‘how do I store them?’ One option is to store them yourself at home. However, this may be difficult if you do not have the extra space available.
Additionally, there are a lot of instructions that need to be followed when storing tires to maintain their integrity. For example: keeping tires in a clean, cool, dry place where they will not be exposed to sunlight, chemicals, or liquids; rotating your stack of tires every four weeks so that pressure is evenly distributed and your tires do not crack; and not exposing your tires to added pressure or force.
For many, meeting these conditions is not possible. Fortunately, Burlington Auto Service is offering reasonably priced seasonal tire storage options..
