Now Is The Time To Schedule Your Tire Swap Appointment
Why Fall Is The Right Time To Swap Seasonal Tires
We have officially entered the autumn season in Alberta. Daytime temperatures are approaching seasonal norms, leaves have started changing colours, and we are all on the lookout for the first snowfall. Before that happens, you need to make sure your car, truck or SUV is ready to handle those conditions. So, why is fall the right time to swap out seasonal tires? Simply put, this is the time of the year when ambient weather conditions can affect the performance and safety of summer or all-season tires. Let’s take a closer look at why you should be scheduling your seasonal tire change in Airdrie at Davis Chevrolet today.

The most important reason to get your seasonal tires swapped on time is that when the ambient temperature gets below 7° C, all-season tires get too stiff and can lose effectiveness. Winter tires stay more pliable in cold temperatures, giving them better traction in cold and winter conditions. As temperatures routinely stay below that mark, it’s more important than ever to make that appointment.
Speaking of making tire swap appointments on time, we all get busy, and it can be hard to find the time to get to the Davis Chevrolet Service Department. However, available service appointments can fill up very quickly once the first snowstorm hits.
Combine Other Seasonal Appointments
Time is a precious commodity that nobody can afford to waste. Vehicle owners can use their tire swap appointment to get several other seasonal maintenance tasks completed. In addition to getting your summer tires swapped out for winter tires, customers should also schedule:
- Wheel alignment
- Battery inspection
- Fluid top-offs (antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, etc.)
Wheel alignments will help keep the wear on your winter tires even and lasting as long as possible. Also, some car insurance companies offer discounts for using winter tires. Give your agent a call to see if you qualify.
The Davis Chevrolet Service Department is always ready to help you take care of your car, regardless of the season. Make an appointment with us today if there is anything else we can do to help keep your vehicle on the road where it belongs.
