GTA drivers, when are you switching to winter tire this year?

[mjohnbalde28]

That is precisely what I did. Michelin X-ice Snow on the OEM aero wheels and the Michelin All seasons on Replika R241 (gloss silver) wheels.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks!

Sure! I got them from PMCtire (a outfit in Sherbrooke, QC). I have bought tires from them in the past for my BMW and their customer service is top notch.

Replika - R241 Wheels - Silver - 18" x 8.5", 5 x 114.3, 64.1 mm, 40 mm - PMCtire Canada

Switched my tires this afternoon - beautiful afternoon.

Running 21 inch turbines with summer/performance tires and 19 inch replica turbines with snows. If cost isn't a huge concern you may want to put snows on your existing rims and get a second set of larger rims and put full summer/performance/lower profile tires. It all depends what you are after though as this would decrease milage a bit for a sportier ride and sharper look.

My personal rule of thumb:

Canadian drivers should install and use winter tires from Halloween to Easter (Oct 31-April 4)

It is generally recommended to use winter tires
when the ambient temperatures are consistently at or below 7"c

I think for those who get the insurance discount, the requirement is to have them on from December 1 - March 1, although I think our weather is typically cold enough to put them on earlier.

Where is a good place to get tires changed for Teslas in the GTA? Is wheelsco any good?

I got my new tires mounted and balanced by Xtreme tires in Mississauga. They are pricy but do a stellar job. If you have nice/fancy wheels and don't want them to get damaged during mount/balance, I would strongly recommend these guys.

I recommend switching them now.
