More >>> We hope you had a great summer, enjoyed the warm weather and your favorite outdoor past time. However as always the season is changing. We hope at the end of fall you will be ready for winter weather. We thought it's time for some pre winter driving tips so you can get thru those nasty winter storms and blizzards. Getting good mechanical grip and traction is very important in any driving condition. It is even more important when the roads are iced and ice covered with snow. Sometimes it is not easy to make emergency turns or stops and it is even harder on winter roads. SSW Monoblock Motorsport Lightweight Flat Black Wheel

Have
you considered winter tires for your vehicle? We hope you did. I can tell you
from experience there is no all season (we call them no season)
tire can give
you confidence, peace of mind when driving in full Canadian winter
weather.
Please consider it, winter tires are made, engineered to stay soft to the touch in the cold and has deeper profiles for the snow and slush. The regular tires get softer in the heat. When the tire is warmer it will give you more grip, more traction. If the temperature goes down to minus, your summer tire can't heat up, your car will have less grip. The all season tires are between the two. They will work better than the high speed summer radials and they definitely will give some traction in winter road conditions, but not enough to be safe in our winter. Those tires weren't designed for our Canadian winter. May we say your life and your families life is worth more than a set of tires, don't you think so?! Some people couldn't be bothered: Where am I going to store it, etc. etc. There is no reason not to replace your regular tires. Please ask yourself the question do you wear the same shoes and clothes in the winter and summer? You don't have to buy the most expensive ultra high performance winter rubber. There are plenty of excellent winter tires available for very reasonable prices. Like our favorite brands Kumho kw 17, Nexen Hr, double AA rated. Both are good for even the most extreme weather and rated for high performance vehicle like BMW, Mercedes, VW. They ride smooth and have very good handling even in any winter weather conditions, (dry - cold, wet, snow, icy roads or the combination of all). We use them ourselves as well. We also could obtain for you most other brands at competitive prices, like Yokohama, Toyo, Continental, Pirelli, Dunlop, Hankook, Goodyear and so on. Naturally they are priced higher on average and normally we don't stock them. Driving in the winter should be as much fun as driving in any other season and you shouldn't have to spend your precious time to haggle with insurance agents and other drivers to figure it out who hit whom and how. No snowstorm should make you leave early from work. In no snow storm should you question: Can I drive home or should I stay at work? It's not fun to get stuck in the snow and beg for help from other drivers or pedestrians. Just think about it, how nerve wrecking it can be in the cold, in the middle of the snow storm waiting for tow trucks. If you properly prepare your vehicle, it will give you piece of mind, it will protect your investment (your car is a investment, isn't it?) and it will make winter driving as safe as possible. We would like to thank you for your time for reading. We wanted to give you timely advice, good information and the driving edge in this oncoming winter. Take care and we at Techmax whish you the very best safe driving and travel thru the seasons. Contact us for more details. |
