Stay Safe This Winter: Why Winter Tires Matter — and Why You Should Get Yours at Grimsby Ford
Posted on October 28, 2025
As the temperatures drop and the snow starts to fall, it’s time to think about one of the most important parts of your vehicle’s safety — your tires. Whether you’re driving through slushy streets or icy highways, having the right tires can make all the difference between getting home safely and getting stuck on the side of the road.
At Grimsby Ford, we know just how unpredictable Canadian winters can be. That’s why we always recommend switching to winter tires before the first frost hits. Here’s why they’re so important — and why Grimsby Ford is the perfect place to get them.
❄️ Why Winter Tires Are Essential
- Superior Grip and Traction
Winter tires are designed with special rubber compounds that stay flexible in cold weather. This flexibility allows them to grip icy and snowy roads far better than all-season tires, which can harden in low temperatures and lose traction. - Enhanced Braking Performance
Stopping distances on snow or ice can be reduced by up to 30–40% with winter tires. That means more control and a lower risk of sliding into an intersection or another vehicle during sudden stops. - Better Handling in Cold Weather
From sharp turns to quick maneuvers, winter tires help your car respond more effectively in harsh winter conditions. You’ll feel more confident behind the wheel — no matter what the weather throws your way. - They Protect Your All-Season Tires
By swapping out your all-season or summer tires for winter ones, you’re actually extending the life of both sets. Each set only wears during the seasons it’s designed for, saving you money in the long run.
