FAQ
When should I put on my winter tires? - The best time to install your winter tires is typically in October, following the 7x7 rule, 7 degrees celsius or less for 7 days or more.
What makes winter tires perform better than all seasons? - Winter tires feature softer rubber compounds which generate significantly more contact space with the road in cold/icy conditions. Their special tread design helps reduce snow and ice packing in the face of the tire. Additionally, some models have increased technology, such as the Bridgestone Blizzak tires which feature a Multicell compound that can wick moisture away from icy surfaces and allow the rubber to fully contact - increasing traction.
Can McGee Motors store my seasonal tires for me? - Yes! We offer seasonal tire storage at an exceptional rate.
Will driving my winter tires year round have any negative impacts? - While you may not see any performance loss in the summer on winter tires, the soft compound will deteriorate rapidly on the hot summer asphalt. This will drastically reduce the life span of your expensive winter tires. Furthermore you may experience a slight decrease in fuel mileage as the increased rolling resistance created by the soft tires.
