In fact, a survey by Kal Tire found that 11 per cent of drivers even left their winter tires on all year long.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing so wears tires out considerably faster and so, it may be time to buy a new set of winter tires in preparation for this coming winter. It\u2019s important to winterize your car so that you and your family stay safe on wet, snowy and icy roads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Winter_driving_needs_winter_tires\"><\/span><b>Winter driving needs winter tires<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to safe winter driving is winter tires. Winter isn\u2019t just about snow. There\u2019s also ice, slush, rain and freezing temperatures. That\u2019s why <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sr.studiostack.com\/c\/link?l=666338&amp;s=665827\">Nokian Tyres<\/a> are designed specifically to provide optimal traction in winter driving conditions. In fact, Nokian invented the winter tire, which is why Nokian Tyres perform exceptionally well in tough Canadian winters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping for winter tires, look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol. That symbol tells you that the tire has passed a standard snow-traction test, and can handle snowy and slippery roads as well as low temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider whether a tire meets your specific winter driving needs. Do you get lots of slushy,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wet snow where you live or do you regularly drive on frozen, icy roads? Winter tread design can help you manage the types of winter conditions you face the most. A tread that defines and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">optimizes the voids \u2014 or spaces in the tread \u2014 helps evacuate slush and rain more\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quickly from the tire. Doing so helps to avoid hydroplaning. If ice is a major concern, look for features like Nokian Tyres\u2019s double-stud <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that offers maximum grip on snow and ice. Choosing tires that fit your vehicle and your requirements will ensure a safer winter driving experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve bought new winter tires, install them before the snow starts flying. Swap out your summer tires as soon as the temperature consistently hits +7C or cooler.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cold air can make the pressure in your tires drop significantly, affecting your vehicle\u2019s ability to maintain traction. Check the pressure on all tires including your spare, and double-check that your tire-changing kit is complete and stored in your vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_your_whole_car_a_thorough_inspection\"><\/span><b>Give your whole car a thorough inspection<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your tires ready to go, give your whole car a good onceover, including changing or topping up all fluids. Check that your wiper blades work well so they effectively wipe away blowing snow and rain. Change them out at least twice a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect your battery or have it checked at your local Kal Tire store to see if it will get your car started and running through the winter. Finding out your car won\u2019t start on a cold winter day is never a good way to start or end a day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While tires play a big role in being able to stop, so, too, do your brakes.
