Jiffy Lube King George Rd. Brantford

It's the time to changeover from your winter to your all season tires.

The time to changeover is when we have a steady temperature of around 7 Celsius. Believe it or not we are getting closer.Rubber compounds are tuned for the ambient temperatures the tires are designed to encounter. Summer tires are best for warm conditions and winter/snow tires are best for cold. And while an all-season tire's name suggests year-round capabilities, they often prove to be a Jack-of-all-trades, master of none.Running typical all-season tires continuously means they will wear out in about three years of use and may need to be replaced before starting the third winter.

While dedicated winter tires are tuned to provide the best possible traction when road conditions are at their slipperiest, some drivers believe using them means having to buy an extra set of tires. However the point they often overlook is that the tires they use during spring, summer and fall don't experience any wear when they are stored during winter, which means those tires will be able to deliver more summers of service.

Alternating winter/snow tires seasonally extends the years of service received from both sets of tires.

Our experience has taught us that alternating between two sets of tires that have been designed for the driving conditions (summer's hot, dry and wet roads vs. winter's cold, slush, snow and ice) means having the best tires to overcome driving challenges all year round, and helps extend the combined years of service drivers get from both sets.

2. Modify your driving habits to include 10 seconds of distance between you and the traffic ahead of you.
3. Learn to look way ahead of where you are so that you can anticipating driving hazards sooner.
4. Learn to control your reactions to difficult and stressful driving situations. This will help you ensure safer outcomes.
5. Understand that the laws of physics can't be changed. Certain temperatures will create certain weather outcomes and driving surfaces will respond in predictable ways.
