Looking for Advice on Winter Tires


Jay From SA

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

We're new to Canada and snow driving (I'm from South Africa originally) and looking for some advice and opinions on which snow tires to fit to our 2019 Ford Edge SEL AWD. We're in Simcoe County and the daily commute south towards the GTA is about 40kms both ways, mainly on 400-range highways.

 

Any advice on which brands to consider and which to avoid be be appreciated.

 

Thank you

I would strongly suggest looking for some winter rated tires. The Bridgestone WeatherPeak and Michelin CrossClimate2 are all year around tires that are also 3 peak rated, and do very well in the snow, with little compromise for summer (maybe a little noisier, and you won't win any races on them). I got my daughter some dedicated winter tires and it was too much hassle to get them swapped around, so we went with the WeatherPeak. She probably gets less snow, and has a FWD Fusion.

 

I grew up driving in severe winter conditions, moved to the desert, and forgot much of my safe winter driving habits, so when I go back to snow, I really have to watch it. I did okay with AWD and all season tires, but after driving my daughters Fusion with winter tires, it was night and day difference.
