We often have customers who question if choosing seasonal tires or winter tires are the right choice for them. Having two sets of tires is an investment and another reason to visit your local auto repair or tire shop at least twice a year. These can seem like draw backs when living in a milder climate area like Abbotsford, BC where we experience snow rarely.
Seasonal tires provide you with an adequate choice if it does not snow and should it snow, you are likely to be ok to drive short distances. If you plan to leave the Lower Mainland and travel North at all it is law in British Columbia to have winter tires on your vehicle.
Winter tires certainly have their place in our milder weather as the rubber of a winter tire is softer than the rubber of a seasonal tire and therefore grips to the road more effectively. Leaving you with tires that are safe not only in the snow but when the roads may become cold, slippery, and potentially icy from rain. As we know snow is not always the worst culprit in the winter, but ice can be much worse.
Valley Eurotec Ltd. can provide you with a fair estimate for tires, installation and mounting on any European brand car such as BMW, Mercedes, Smart Car or even Sprinter Vans. We believe each customer should be able to make their own educated choice and know their options to ensure their safety and the safety of the roads.
