October 19 2022,
With winter just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about winter tires and schedule an installation appointment. If you would like to know which winter tires will suit your Mazda vehicle, when to install them, or if you should replace them, please contact our tire centre, or check out the information below. This quick guide answers frequently asked questions about Mazda tires. You can always count on us to find the right winter tires for your Mazda vehicle.
When should my Mazda have its winter tires?
It's time to install winter tires because the weather outside is getting colder. Your Mazda should have winter tires when the temperature outside dips regularly below 7 degrees, according to tire manufacturers and experts. In the cold, summer or all-season tires will start to harden, which means they will lose grip and be less effective when braking. Though you still have some time, we recommend booking an appointment as soon as possible. When the snow starts falling, at least you will have your winter tires on your vehicle.
How can I check if I need new winter tires?
By measuring the tread depth of your winter tires, you can determine their condition. To ensure they will last all winter, winter tires should have a tread depth of at least 4.8 mm when you install them on your vehicle. If the tread depth on your tires is less than 4.8 mm, they won't last until spring.
Do I need winter wheels to go with my winter tires?
Winter wheels are not only more economical to replace or repair than summer wheels, but they also protect your summer wheels from damage. Additionally, you can reduce the size of your winter tires by an inch with winter wheels for your Mazda. Consequently, you save money on subsequent winter tires. In the long run, winter wheels can save you money and protect your vehicle's long-term value.
