Driving on the wrong tires can shorten tread life, reduce traction, and compromise safety. A seasonal changeover ensures your vehicle is always ready for the road ahead.
Timing is everything. Experts recommend:
Switch to winter tires when temps consistently drop below 45°F (7°C).
Switch to summer or all-season tires when temps consistently rise above 45°F (7°C).
Other factors to consider:
Local climate — long winters or hot summers may require earlier changes
Driving habits — commuting, highway travel, or mountain driving
