Need better traction on these slippery winter roads? Get a grip!
You can now shop tires 24/7 with Quick Lane Guelph
With the seemingly endless snow this winter, have you found yourself slipping around on your way to work, school, the store? The friendly and knowledgeable team at Quick Lane Guelph wants to help you get a grip, for less!
Some major snowstorms have hit the Guelph area recently, and this has revealed an alarming reality -- not all drivers have tires that can handle the winter conditions safely. That fact is reflected in the hundreds of weather-related accidents that have occurred across Ontario in the month of January. It feels like the snow isn't showing any signs of stopping, but your tires should!
Winter tires are manufactured using a silica-rich rubber compound that stays flexible when temperatures dip below 7 °C. All-season and summer tires harden in cold weather, reducing traction. Softer rubber allows the tire to conform to uneven, icy, or snowy surfaces, increasing traction. The result is more grip when accelerating, steering, and braking.
In addition, winter tires have hundreds to thousands of small slits called sipes, cut into the tread blocks. These sipes open as the tire rolls, biting into snow and helping to evacuate the thin layer of water that forms on ice that can lead to dangerous hydroplaning. The result is better control and shorter stopping distances on snow and ice. At winter temperatures, a vehicle on winter tires can stop 20%--40% shorter than one on all-season tires. At highway speeds, that can mean several car lengths, resulting in fewer collisions.
"With the weather we've had, we have noticed that there are a lot of people struggling on the roads," said Doug Bricknell, Operations Manager at Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln. "The recent weather may have helped you realize, you didn't have the traction you were hoping for. Maybe you don't have snow tires, maybe the tread on your all weather or all-season tires is getting low, or maybe you still haven't put your snow tires on yet."
"Regardless of the vehicle brand or model you drive, it's not too late to get a great deal on tires with at Quick Lane Guelph! And with our Price Match Promise on tires, you know you are going to get the best price!"
