New Tires
Is It Time for New Tires?
Your tires play an important role in your vehicle’s safety, handling, and overall performance. Regularly checking your tires for tread wear, sidewall damage, cracks, uneven wear, or other signs of deterioration can help you know when it is time for a replacement.
- Tread and condition checks
- Guidance on the right tires
- Selection through installation
Tread Depth
Know When Your Tires Are Ready for Replacement
In Canada, the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm or 2/32 of an inch. However, replacing worn tires before they reach the minimum limit can help maintain better traction and control, especially in rain, snow, and changing road conditions.
Not sure how much tread you have left? One simple method is the Canadian quarter test. Insert a quarter into one of the tread grooves with the caribou facing downward. If the tip of the caribou’s nose is visible, your tread is getting low and it may be time to start considering new tires.
At Valvoline Express Care, our team can inspect your tires and help you determine whether they are ready for replacement.

Tire Size
What Tire Size Does My Vehicle Need?
Choosing the correct tire size is essential for proper handling, performance, and safety.
The recommended tire size for your vehicle can usually be found on the information placard located inside the driver’s-side door jamb. It typically includes important measurements such as:
- Tire width
- Aspect ratio or profile
- Wheel diameter
- Recommended tire pressure
You may also find tire information in your vehicle owner’s manual.
If you are unsure, simply ask the team at Valvoline Express Care. We can help identify the appropriate tire size for your vehicle.
Tire Types
What Type of Tires Do I Need?
The best tire for your vehicle depends on where you drive, how you drive, and the weather conditions you experience throughout the year. At Valvoline Express Care, we can help you compare your options and choose tires suited to your needs.
All-Weather Tires
All-weather tires are designed to provide year-round versatility while offering improved performance in colder and light winter conditions.
Their tread patterns are designed to help move rain, water, and slush away from the tire while providing traction across a wider range of temperatures.
For drivers who experience moderate seasonal changes and prefer one set of tires throughout the year, all-weather tires can be a convenient option.
All-Season Tires
All-season tires are commonly installed on many new vehicles and are designed to provide balanced performance during spring, summer, and fall.
They offer good traction in dry and wet conditions but generally perform best when temperatures remain above approximately 7°C.
Despite their name, all-season tires may not provide the same level of cold-weather traction as dedicated winter tires when temperatures drop significantly.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are designed for strong performance during warmer weather.
Their rubber compounds and tread designs can provide responsive handling and traction on both dry and wet roads during warmer months.
Summer tires are not intended for temperatures below approximately 7°C and should not be used for snow, ice, or winter driving conditions.
Winter Tires
Winter tires are specifically engineered for cold Canadian driving conditions.
Their softer rubber compounds remain flexible when temperatures fall below approximately 7°C, helping maintain traction on cold pavement.
Deeper tread grooves and specialized tread patterns also help manage snow, slush, water, and icy road conditions.
If you regularly drive during Canadian winters, dedicated winter tires can provide an important improvement in cold-weather traction and control.
