Milton drivers wondering about when to put on winter tires and what the best winter tires available are, read on—the Mercedes-Benz Burlington tire centre is here to tell you everything that you need to know. We’ll also cover the advantages of choosing Mercedes-Benz winter tires over the competition.
The general rule of thumb for when to put on winter tires is that you should put them on when temperatures consistently fall under 4.5 degrees Celsius. Conversely, take them off when temperatures consistently rise above 4.5 degrees.
Of course, some Hamilton drivers might be wondering, “why not just leave the same pair of winter-ready tires on all year?”. That’s because winter tires reduce fuel economy. Summer tires, on the other hand, shouldn’t be used in the winter because they wear down much faster on cold roads.
So, what are the best winter tires on the market? Mercedes-Benz winter tires.
The reason that Mercedes-Benz winter tires are the best winter tires on the market is that they’re actually all-season Tires. You can leave them on all year, continue to get good fuel economy, and not worry about whether or not the treads are being run down too fast by ice. They also come with run flat sidewalls.
Run flat sidewalls allow you to drive an extra 80 km at under 80 km an hour when your tire drastically drops in pressure. This buys you time to find a garage to get a tire replacement or patch.
