It's Time to Switch to Spring Tires – And Save Big at Jim Wilson Chevrolet Buick GMC
Posted on April 21, 2025
As the snow melts away and the roads clear up in Orillia and Simcoe County, it’s time to trade in those winter tires for a set better suited to warmer weather. At Jim Wilson Chevrolet Buick GMC, we’re here to help you make the seasonal switch safely—and save money while doing it.
The Importance of Switching to Spring Tires
When temperatures rise above 7°C, your winter tires start to lose effectiveness. Made with softer rubber compounds designed for cold weather, winter tires wear down faster and handle poorly in warm conditions. That can mean:
- Reduced braking performance
- Decreased fuel efficiency
- Uneven tread wear and shorter tire life
Spring or all-season tires are built for dry and wet warm-weather conditions, offering better grip, steering response, and longevity.
✅ Pro Tip: Don’t just store your winter tires in the garage—have them professionally cleaned and stored to maximize their life. Ask us about tire storage solutions available at our service department.
Why the Seasonal Tire Swap Matters for Your Safety
Driving on winter tires in the spring not only affects your vehicle’s performance but also your safety. Spring brings rain, potholes, and unexpected temperature swings. Spring tires are engineered with specialized tread patterns that offer better hydroplaning resistance and smoother rides over rougher spring roads.
Spring tire benefits:
- Shorter stopping distances on warm pavement
- Better cornering in wet conditions
- Quieter, smoother ride
Make the switch now and ensure you're ready for whatever the season throws at you!
