Best Winter Tires in Halifax, NS

Nova Scotia in winter is not exactly a driver’s paradise, so it’s important to have the best winter tires for your truck, SUV, hatchback, coupe, sedan, station wagon, or other passenger car. Winter tires allow for more enjoyable and smoother rides, but more importantly, they’re an essential safety feature for driving in snowy, icy, and cold weather conditions.

“Where can I get the best winter tires in Halifax, NS?”

If you’re in the Halifax area of Nova Scotia, you can buy the best winter tires available, atNS Diesel. We have a large range of snow tires for sale from different brands and for different vehicles. But are winter tires really that different from other tires? And if so, what makes them different?

“Do I really need snow tires in winter?”

Many Canadians ask this question every year when the cold weather comes. And many drivers try to use all-seasons throughout the winter. At NS Diesel, we don’t believe this is a very good idea. All-season tires aren’t great or effective for all four Canadian seasons because they start to lose their capacity to properly grip the road at seven degrees Celsius and lower. Seven degrees is quite mild for winter in Nova Scotia, so you can imagine how little traction they give you at negative twenty-seven degrees. With this in mind, it’s prudent to switch to winter tires before the really cold weather hits.

Engineering and tread design of winter tires

Winter tires are made of different rubber compounds than other tires are. Furthermore, snow tires have special tread patterns and designs, as well as siping, to provide traction even in extreme cold. To get the best performance, you must buy the right winter tire for your vehicle. The best snow tire for a truck may not be the best for a sedan, for example.

Another consideration is whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive, as this can also affect your choice of winter tire. The tire experts at NS Diesel can suggest the best winter tires for you.

What about all-weather tires?

All-weather tires are not the same as all-seasons. All-weathers are suitable for winter driving. They are embossed with the snowflake pictogram, which means they’re safe for winter driving. Keep in mind, though, that not all all-weathers necessarily offer the same features as some winter tires.
