Winter Tire Policy

For many years winter tires were purchased in pairs and installed on the rear drive axle of your vehicle. However, the popularity of front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles has displaced this practice.

The advancement in winter tire technology provides you with superior traction in both snow & ice conditions when compared to all-season tires. Their tread patterns and tread compounds are designed to perform specifically under winter conditions therefore the need for consistent traction on all 4 corners of today’s vehicles is critical to safe driving. They are a great investment in both safety and confidence.

Transport Canada and the Rubber Association of Canada recommend the installation of 4 winter tires. With your safety in mind our policy is exactly that;

Winter tires will only be sold and installed in sets of 4 at Tirecraft for all cars, mini-vans, light trucks & SUV’s featuring front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive capability.

We also recommend the installation of 4 winter tires on vehicles with rear wheel drive.

Our policy also applies to winter tire changeovers; only winter tires in sets of 4 will be installed.

These measures are in place in order to insure you the safest driving possible. After all, we take tires, and your safety, seriously.
