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.

To my fellow Torontonians, where do you go to get your model 3 winter tires changed. I need to purchase this year as well since it's the first winter with my M3.

If you own the winter tire package from Tesla, you can request in the app for them to come to your house and do the swap. They did mention that they only support OEM tires/wheels. If you don't, CAA also does home service. I think it's around $80-90 for the visit. Beats lugging your wheels somewhere, waiting, then lugging it back.
