All Season Tires in london, on

Ontario drivers know that weather can change fast. In a place like London, ON, we could have snow, rain, and high heat all in the same week. That’s why many Ontarian drivers prefer to use all season tires on their vehicles because they perform well in all weather conditions. These tires can handle hot, dry pavement, and they’re OK in wet weather conditions. They provide more mobility in cold temperatures than summer tires but can’t handle extreme cold and ice as well as winter tires.

All season tires provide reliable all-year performance, but they also lack some of the special qualities that make winter and summer tires effective in their respective months. They don’t have a particularly strong grip, nor can they provide sharp handling when driving on ice. Some Ontario drivers use all season tires from spring until winter, while others like to use summer tires during the summer.
