With cold weather, snowstorms, and icy roads on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about winter tires. Winter tires will make all of the difference between enjoying your time on the road this winter, or having a difficult time getting up hills or coming out of snowbanks. When your vehicle is equipped with quality winter tires, you can get the most out of your Jaguar. Here are a few tips put together by our winter tire experts that will guarantee that you have all of the information you need to get the best winter tires for your vehicle and ensure that these tires deliver the highest level of performance and stability.
The right time to install winter tires on your Jaguar
When the weather outside starts to go below 7°C, it's a good time to book your appointment for winter tires. October is usually the best time to have your winter tires installed because we notice that the outside temperature dips below 7° consistently in the morning and evenings and as we make our way towards November, the outside temperature will be near the freezing point more often than not. Experts say that your summer tires lose their effectiveness when the outside temperature dips below 7°. At this temperature, your rubber will begin to harden which increases braking distance and reduces overall grip and stability.
Checking if your tires are still in good condition
Measuring the tread depth of your tires before installing them is critically important in ensuring that they remain effective and that they preserve the safety and stability of your vehicle throughout winter. We would strongly recommend that you ensure that your tires have a tread depth of at least 4.8 mm before you have them installed. Anything less than that and your tires likely won't be able to get through entire season or provide the highest level of effectiveness.
Getting the right winter tires for your Jaguar
