@George L I'd rather consider the slight loss of performance in those conditions and drive accordingly and have proper winter tires when its snowy or icy or when temperature is bellow -7C. Small compromise if you ask me :) I even have studded tires, and where I live its not a luxury, again there's a compromise on dry roads, but I'm not racing so I don't really notice the difference. When I'm on ice though, its night and day.
Hi there, I’m from Brazil and I work at Bridgestone Firestone... that produces winter tires to USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦... I loved this video! And friends take care when driving in the snow... Canada 🇨🇦 I ❤️ U!!!!!!
So many think that it's not worth the investment but the truth is that they will last you a long time if you only use them during the winter. I had my winter tires for over 7 seasons. Cost me $500 with rims and tires for easy switching. I bought them used and they used to be on a tow truck. Didn't look nice but got me everywhere I needed to go. Not to mention that I never had and accident while driving in the snow.
Ian Sebastian Video Blog The problem with buying used winter tires is that after 3or 4 years, the rubber starts to oxidize and hardens. Then your formerly safe tires are not much better than using all season or summer tires. After 7 years of use this is almost guaranteed. Don't be fooled into thinking you will be safe. There are no studies or videos made covering this critical point.
1:36 Technically, that's an all weather tire, not all season. Specifically, it's the Firestone Weathergrip tires. They are engineered to work through all 4 seasons and do have the 3 peak mountain snowflake certification. I personally have a set of Nokian WR-G4s and will always recommend all weathers over all seasons as they are a much better tire when snow falls and you don't have to remove them every spring like you would a dedicated snow tire.
I currently have a set of 4 winter tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2) studless on my Jeep Patriot it drives with confidence on ice & snowy roads and I live in Winnipeg.

Depends on where you live. If it only snows once every three years and you drive like the average opium-doped driver, you'll probably never notice the extra cold-temperature dry traction. But if you get snow and ice quite regularly, then it's like magic. Driving in snow on all-seasons demands much more skill and caution. Respect and tolerate that if it's rare - get the real deal if it happens often.
Thank God I'm not dumb like other Vancouverites. I bought good winter tires. It's mandatory on BC mountain highways. People were driving 30 km an hour on highway 1 and sliding. I was doing 60 past them and not sliding. Winter tires are smart. Be smart
honestly, all-seasons are good enough... FOR non-freezing times. all seasons are practically useless in snow conditions and near outright dangerous. But honestly for the average person, especially in Vancouver, not everyone has a garage to put their spare winter tires. Driving in general has a lot of costs. When you cheap out on tires, what may cost you is your life.
The tire you used as an all season tire is the Firestone WeatherGrip it is one of the few tires in the Firestone Bridgestone line with both an M+S and a 3 peak certification. It also means you can use it all year long even in deep snow (about 6 inches). It's misleading and incorrect.
Here in Quebec all cars must have there winter tires on!! And it’s been 30 years i all way drive with winter tires in winter!! Because we have the most crazy winter!! Stay safe!!
I got myself a set of Nokian all weather tires. Safer for me, safer for my precious car. On coming traffic on a narrow road? No problem, drove myself to the side into 6 inch deep snow, let them pass, then drove myself on out... all the while, a bunch of people are stopped to help dig out a police cruiser on the other side of the road.
I don't know if you know about the climate here in British Columbia. It's different from the rest of Canada. We have snow only twice or three times a year. Normally Canadians are used to dealing with snow but not British Columbians especially people living in Greater Vancouver. This is the point of this video. A lot of people here don't know how to drive in snow, or are not willing to buy snow tires. We have lots of rain from later fall to spring but other than that, overall the climate here is not so bad. We have dry and cooler summer. I noticed my car's AC was not working but did without it last sumner. There were some hot days, it's much better with an AC but still we can survive without it.
We've been in Canada since 1989 and Mom has never had winter tires until last year or 2 years ago. I always thought she had them lol!. She's never had a accident. Funny too I went to visit her and she said "winter tries are much better" I said omg mom lol!. She used to drive from kw area to mississauga daily hehe. I have always had a set of winters that I swap over it's no big deal. I always find tires on kijiji that are 95% tread or more and i'm good for a long time.
I don't know that we need CBC Vancouver to tell the rest of Canada how to drive in winter. Vancouver winters are usually in the -5C to 5C range with occasional snow. They do not have the prolonged snow and low -20C temperatures experienced in the rest of Canada.
Driving in snow with summer tires is on par with driving drunk imo, Just becuase you havent crashed yet doesent make it a good idea. The price is not that high when you consider that you a wearing on two sets, if you use your regular tires year round you will have to replace them sooner.
I don't use winter tires. I just drive slow and safe and never in conditions where I'll encounter snow. If I need to, I can always take a taxi. Taking a taxi once or twice a year is still cheaper than getting your tires swapped. Not to mention the cost of getting the tires in the first place.
Just use common sense. I lived in Mississauga, ON for last 20 years and never had winter tires. Use head/mind, if you have then. Do not go with your effing emotions! Think rationally.
We've been running proper winter tires for years: Yokohama Geolander GO-72s. They're the best we've ever driven on. In fifteen years we've never been stuck, never run off the road, never had to stay home. We live in central B.C. where we contend with piles of unploughed snow and minus 40C. Please, spend the money on the best winter tires you can afford.
Would you rather spend for winter tires once or car repair damage or a coffin... Here in the far East Coast Province its by law to have winter tire from Dec1 to 15March
When it snows, an all-season tire will lose 80% of the grip that they once had. A winter tire will increase this to only a 70% loss of the grip that you once had in dry weather with all-season tires. Having 30% of the grip that you used to have is 50% better than only having 20% of the grip that you used to have. It is still not much, but much better than almost nothing.
My advice to everyone is this: Buy 'ALL-WEATHER Tires' (they are softer than all-season tires). The new compound designs of the new 'All-Weather' tires allow the soft rubber to withstand the heat of summer without wearing away quickly, giving you almost as much tread-life as a regular all-season tire even though you keep using them all year long. But when the snow comes, they give 80% of the traction advantages of the best winter tires, and even better traction than the lower-quality winter tires out there. So forget having to switch over from all-season to winter tires and back again each year, just go and get a set of all-weather tires on your vehicle and forget about having to do that tire change each year. Keep your old winter tires or all-season tires as 'spare-tires' for when you get a flat.
They are like lower-quality winter tires that you can leave on your vehicle all year long. They are almost as good as winter tires in the snow, and way better than all-season tires in the snow. And during the summer they are almost as good as the best all-season tires during that time also. They really are all anyone needs in Canada.
All season tires are not created equally. I have a VW Golf running Michelin Premier all seasons and a BMW running Nokian winter tires. I was so impressed with the performance of the Michelin tires that I cancelled my order on winter tires. Nearly as good as my other car on full winters. Once they do wear down they won’t be seeing winter anymore. I’ve owned diff all season tire brands, some are useless in the winter regardless of thread life
I. Fawzy absolutely not, due to their compound and design, once the weather warms up or even dries a slight bit, they become obsolete and lead to too much body toll, unwanted push from either axles of the car and result in a tire that is faster to bald than if it was doing burnouts day and night. If possible, keep an all season set and a winter set.
It’s HOW you drive! Cannot drive like its summer! Spinning tires shows you don’t know how to drive in snow. Gotta go a lot slower, winter tires are not going to save you on ice!
True! But you also need the right tool for the right job. Ever try eating a steak with only chopsticks eating soup (not a thick stew) with a knife? It's possible but ...SMH
@1:38, you show a Firestone WeatherGrip tires, then show a sidewall of a different Firestone tire. Fact is, Firestone WeatherGrip is a 3-peak mountain-snowflake all-weather tire that meets the minimum traction standard for a winter tire.
Real Eyez they didnt show because there is no proof. U shouldnt be driving fast in the snow to begin with to need a lesser stop time. Its the biggest scam.
the issue alot of people don't see is that all seasons tire are not designed to handle Canada's mildest winters plus have two sets of tyres typically they'll last twice as long if switched over on time so u gets your moneys worth regardless
The main problem for many people is that they only put 5,000 km per year on their cars equipped with AWD and all season tires instead of the average 20,000 km. It becomes an expensive headache to outfit the car with winter tires. So these people just avoid driving in new snow, or take taxis. They are being smart.
@@georgeetoile6686 if persons choose not to drive then fine.. but if they are going to, could be 1000 miles a year more risk is just more risk a friend total her vehicle 5 kilos from her home just 5km so distance is irrelevant once ur on the road.. put it this way just as how tires wear down their water handling capabilities diminish it's similar running all season in wintery conditions u don't get that 10, 15 or 20% advantage of a true winter tire
@@georgeetoile6686 most people can afford it they would rather do something else i seen guys in Vancouver pimp out their rides or friends of mine could smoke one less pack of cigarettes a week and save the cash, steel rims are cheap, Canadian tire have budget and premium tire clearances every year.. tires a half to a quarter of original prices even a all weather tyres which can run year round .. but life and safety isn't that important people would rather spend 20,000 to 40G on a new ride to get AWD which doesn't do anything for stopping 😳 4WD has been around for years and it sure didn't stop them from flipping back in the days.. ESC /ESP is one of the the best things put in modern vehicles coupled with good tyres and abit of skill u set for the winter my friend
As a Norwegian I'm surprised that winter tyres is seen as "optional" by people in Canada... Here we swap tyres each season as a matter of course, like it was clothing. The only debate is whether or not it should be studded winter tyres.
Nothing! It's like the difference between a spork and a foon. They are the same crap. You use a spoon for soup and chopsticks for eating small things or would you rather only have a spork?
The main difference: All-weather tires are rated with the "three-peak mountain snowflake" symbol. All-season tires are rated with the "mud and snow" (M+S) symbol. Therefore, all-weather tires will perform better than all-season tires in the winter. However, all-weather tires will not perform better than winter tires in the winter, due to the characteristics of the tires.
Its not so much people "dont want to spend money for winter tires" but rather people genuinely don't have the money. I'm about 30 now and in my early to mid twenties, it wouldn't have been feasible for me to dish out ~$800 for a set of tires. I would have loved to. Now that I'm a more stable financially, I always run them. People understand the benefits of winter tires but some genuinely can't afford them.
& this is what people dont understand. Just because you "have no issues" does not mean you do not need winter tires. Winter tires will stop your car faster, they will allow you to suddenly avoid somebody who cuts you off or allow you to gain grip on ice quicker then an all season tire would. The best all season tire is NOT as good as the cheapest winter tire. Winter tires make a big difference and they should be mandatory
@@bryanviper thank god my car came with summer tires. I was forced to get a dedicated winter set hehe. I believe in winter tires. Many reviews show a clear advantage in stopping distance, acceleration, cornering, and control with winters - with differences being in meters! A few meters can mean avoiding a collision or hitting something. People who think "nah, I just drive to the conditions" on their all seasons are pathetically ignorant.
Because of the normally 'Mild' weather that South-Western B.C. gets, it's sensible that most don't think they need winter tires. Okay then, just get these new 'All-Weather' tires instead when your all-season tires wear out and that will be good enough for most people, as they are halfway between all-season and winter tires in terms of traction, yet you can use them in the hot summers with no problems.
I was suggest a campaign for annual reminders or discounts to take care of these issues before winter. I believe most people are not concerned with what type of tires are on their vehicles. Unfortunately, RUclips videos and complaining are not enough.
In Sweden its mandatory to have winter tires or M+S from 1 december to march or even before if it starts snowing in october. I can’t believe the US dont have laws for this. I would never drive without my spike tires, if i really need too break or avoid an accident by turning 300$ is worth saving my life. When it gets cold below freezing your summer tires turn into lawn mawer tires, they become hard and wont help you much at all, you will slide like having a pair of skis instead of tyres. If you manage to even get out of your parking lot :) One thing that is interesting is that buses and trucks dont need summertyres. 😇
Up here in New England we just let er rip Boston style. lol no laws needed. Plus the roads are iced and cleared fairly quick. Just use ya blinkah and get out the way of the wackos and you'll be fine.
It amazes me how winter tires are not required by law in southern Ontario. Especially even BC requires them on highways. Part of being a competent driver is to ensure your cars are in suitable condition to drive. If you can afford winter tires, you can’t afford driving in winter
@Cool Story Bro BC, with its mild winter, requires winter tires on highways. Therefore, Ontario, with its more severe winter, should also require winter tires by law. Having winter tires reduces your braking distance compared against A/S tires, under 7 degrees Celsius. Being able to accelerate and decelerate more effectively reduces your chances of being involved in a collision. An individual driver not having a collision doesn't prove anything.
Winter tires and All seasons are already outdated. Most people go with performance (summer tires) and all weather tires. Those offer the best for what ever climate you lived in.
Bodyshops make the most money in winter I have worked in many diffrent parts of the automotive industry with 30+ years People going on used websites for Used tires ..70% of used tires are from Scrap yards off of cars that been in a crash or been sitting in a parking spot for many years The chances you just bought old aged tires / damaged is high Broken steel belts and other issues is not worth the cost. Mud and snow tires are no better in alot of cases then "All season" You can drive all spring/summer/fall with any type of tire And get away with it ...Deep snow and ice is unforgiving Having a softer rubber along with a Snow and ice tire is key This means In cold temps a softer rubber tire will hold better on ice then a .."long tread life" tire Think of it this way ..Ever see a hockey game?..That puck is hard rubber for a reason Ever see a car in the ditch in winter? Might of been a hockey player driving The cost of 4 Snow & Ice tires is still have the cost of Having a front bumper replaced and painted Plus the tow and taxes. Oh and don't forget the guy you read ended!! Or the diffrence in your insurance rate jumping. Best items to have to in winter driving : Ice Tires I find Blizzak tires are my top choice. I have them slightly under the full psi they should be for more tire to road. 4x4/AWD having power to all tires go's with having 4 tires to stop it helps with controlable movement Worst reason/areas of the road that cause the most crashes : Hills,Turns, Speed (yes even the speed limit) Bridges ----Bridges normally have a openning underneath where cold air rushes under making whatever is on the bridge cool much faster Leaving black ice So you may have dry clear roads where the slush and water has run onto the bridge where it freezes Watch some youtube videos on winter crashes Take note of where the the crash took place many of them are with cars and truck not on a level straight road combied with bad tires. If a car with the best tires and 4x4 set up can stop from say 80kms/hr 500ft And you dont have any of those items You should not be on a road that has a 80km speed limit Because you should only be doing 50km at best The other idea is not to drive that day ..whats the cost of Snow tires now? Miss a day of work? Crash the car and miss the same day of work And pay in one form or another?
I don't know about all wheel drive, but 4 wheel drive does decrease your stopping distance dramatically compared to front or rear wheel drive. As long as I'm not driving like a moron and plan ahead for a stop, I can come to an aggressive stop almost as well as normal by downshifting (manual) and lightly using the brake. If I'm under 10mph, I can grind to a halt just like dry pavement by slamming on the brake only.
@@kurts3779 no. Winter tires are needed in the days it snows. There are some nights where it hits -2 or whatever, but on those nights the roads get salted. I've never slipped or lost traction driving in the rain in Decembers when it's 3-4 degrees. It also depends on the type of drivetrain you have. My 4Matic + all seasons haven't failed yet.
In Portugal we have Summer tires and thats it 😉. Unless you count a few people uneducated on the topic that will fit all seasons to their car as it makes logic sense if you dont know better that those are the ones to use year round 😂
In My Country There is A Law, regulation That Makes EVERY Car That Drives On Latvian Soil Have Winter Tires At Winter. You Guys Should Make Something Similar, Like, If Snow Is Snowing Then U Need Winter Tires Or SOmething Like That
Actually, to be more specific, it's an all weather tire. A tire that has the 3 peak mountain snowflake but can be driven throughout all 4 seasons. Technically, him saying "all season" is correct. Him explaining it as a typical all season is incorrect as these tires do not freeze in the cold like typical all seasons.
PiroFyre No it’s not. At that specific moment that I described its a pure winter tire, not an all weather tire! That tire cannot be used in warmer weather, unless you want to prematurely wear them out! An all weather tire can be used for four seasons, and although the tread is more aggressive it’s not as aggressive as the tire described at that specific time in the video.
@@JimBic72 Clearly you know nothing about the new all weather tires. The compound is enhanced to withstand extreme heat and cold temperatures, effectively making all season tires obsolete.
I don’t believe winter tires should be mandatory! But I do believe if you were involved in a car accident without winter tires you were held more liable! You should get a ticket if involved in an accident form properly ill-equipped vehicle! Not everybody has to drive when it’s icy out. If you have a four-wheel-drive that is mechanically.(Chain driven transfer case) They do stop faster! It’s the hydraulic driven four-wheel-drive! It is bald Tires it caused a problem! On ice winter Bald winter tires aren’t better than new all seasons!
Rex Mundi If those winter tires don't wear down, it is because they are old and the rubber has oxidized, making them almost as hard as summer tires. But the winter capabilities are not as good as when they were newer.
@@georgeetoile6686 I change at 80% and get years out of them. Nothing you said is true or makes sense. As a Canadian and professional driver I'll trust my experience, but thanks.
For best stopping distances you need to disable the Antiloc Brake System (ABS). It says so right in your car's manual and includes instructions on how to do it. It's only really useful at somewhat higher speeds for those who don't have the skills to properly manage a skid, in stop and go city traffic it's basically useless and puts you at greater risk of rear ending someone.
Not everybody has the skills to do threshold braking Mr. Formula 1. 99.9999% of people just mash the brakes and pray to their god regardless of ABS or not.
Ive always known M+S tires as mountain and snow tires. Any M+S tire worth buying for winter or all weather use has the snowflake in the mountain. There are M+S rated tires that do not have the snowflake symbol, they are not worth it for the M+S rating, they are not good for winter conditions
"I dont have money for another set of tires, they cost to much" They may cost more up front but you dont spend much more year over year. When you're driving on the summers you arnt putting wear on the winters, and vice versa. You end up paying the same in the end AND you're a safer, more controlled driver.
Dont wanna pay to get them swapped every year. Get a cheap set of rims from a wrecker and just after 2 years you've saved money. Also say goodbye to the stress of making an appointment at the tire shop every winter. It's easy for a mechanic to put 4 tires and rims on, or just do it yourself at home.
Winter tires will not compensate for people’s lack of driving skill, I have driven snow only on All-Seasons and refuse to change to dedicated winters. If there is enough snow that you can’t drive properly, then stay home. Learn to threshold brake, side braking and using the car’s oversteer characteristic to your advantage. Also lastly, keep your speed LOW!! just because you have snow tires doesn’t mean you can still go 100 in a 70 and expect to get away with it like youd in the dry.
Lol, "Not worth the investment." Do people think if you have 2 sets of tires that they only last as long as a single set? Yes, there is upfront cost but total cost of ownership is nearly the same and you are safer. If you are going to run one set all year do everyone a favour and get some winter rated tires (all weather rather than all season). For your average grocery getter it makes no difference in the summer and is markedly better in the winter (though still not as good as dedicated winter tires).
dubbreak In Ontario, winter tires are not mandatory. The road maintenance policy is to keep roads plowed and salted, with a resulting wet surface. Winter tires are actually worse than summer or all season tires in braking in these conditions. The alleged better low temperature flexibility of a winter formulated rubber is moot in these conditions.
People need to stop buying all-season tyres and go buy all-weather tyres. The difference? All season tyres are summer tires with a bit of cold weather capabilities. All weather tyres are based off winter tyres, but also have warm weather capabilities.
J L This is all semantics, with no real definition. Newer all season tires are being formulated with silicon particles imbedded which extends their performance in lower temperatures. The trend seems to be towards an all year tire, at least in the UK with a mild winter climate. In Canada, not so much due to a longer snow season.
People that need seperate spoon, fork and a knife are the same people that eat soup salads and steaks. Are you a dog that eats with their snout in a bowl of kibble. arf-arf-arf
I just wished that CBC News, would acknowledge that the tires you buy are NOT brand New. So they might not be up to "specs". There is a code on the Tire that will tell you the year it was made not only that, the month and the day. So you might buy "Brand New Tires" but they might 8 to 15 years old. Go figure about this bad news coverage! As a side note, with the B.C. Gov't. Will it cover the costs (destroying all out of date tires, and where do they go and what does the Tire Manufacture get?) of these useless tires when and IF they deem a tire can only be held for 1 year? Wanna bet that BF Goodrich/Good Year and any other tire manufacturer will comply? The answer is NO! Let's talk Bottom line.
Quit Hollerin All season tires seem adequate in winter if you are driving in an urban Ontario city, providing you do NOT attempt to drive when DEEP fresh snow is on the roads. It is a question of ideal versus adequate in winter driving. There are no absolutes.
Another myth. Now, i dont know about all wheel drive BUT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE with a TRANSFER CASE will ABSOLUTELY IMPROVE braking distance. For anyone who does not believe....go to YT Channel Oneil Driving School and search for 4WD and improved braking. One video I watched, an F250 plow pickup nearly stopped 2 full truck lengths quicker in FOUR HIGH RANGE. I wish People would quit perpetuating this false myth. Oneil driving also does one video with a Tacoma...almost like mine and 4HI the stopping distance is vastly quicker in 4HI. ABS on will also increase stop distance. If you can turn ABS off, braking on snow and ice is improved as well. BTW...I use Goodyear Duratracs in the winter. In summer, Goodyear Adventure.
Sometimes you need to pay a hard, life altering penalty before some common sense kicks in. Sometimes it's too late. Getting winter tires is common sense. Anything less is literally below average, aka stoopid
@@toolbaggers read Sams' comment below. I rest my case. Stoopid is, is stoopid does. Winter/Snow tires give most people a false sense of security. No doubt yourself also. Next time you see a transport truck, check for snow tires. You wont see them.
Do you think a the "right" spork is the only utensil you need to eat or do you use a spoon, knife, fork and even your hands to eat? Tires are the same thing. You need the right tool for the right job.
It's not just for snow/ice, it's for low temps. People still have no clue.
@George L True to a point, but performance winters fix that issue.
@George L You got it.
George L. You are correct. The problem is that winter driving conditions are variable day to day. It is a question of adequate versus ideal.

Winter tires are a must imo if you live somewhere that's cold and snows. They shorten brake distance as well in the freezing cold. Not just in snow.
Speed is also another important factor. The speed limit is maximum speed limit but it's always minimum in most of people.

Normally Canadians are used to dealing with snow but not British Columbians especially people living in Greater Vancouver. This is the point of this video. A lot of people here don't know how to drive in snow, or are not willing to buy snow tires.
We have lots of rain from later fall to spring but other than that, overall the climate here is not so bad. We have dry and cooler summer. I noticed my car's AC was not working but did without it last sumner. There were some hot days, it's much better with an AC but still we can survive without it.
We've been in Canada since 1989 and Mom has never had winter tires until last year or 2 years ago. I always thought she had them lol!. She's never had a accident. Funny too I went to visit her and she said "winter tries are much better" I said omg mom lol!. She used to drive from kw area to mississauga daily hehe. I have always had a set of winters that I swap over it's no big deal. I always find tires on kijiji that are 95% tread or more and i'm good for a long time.
I don't trust used tires. I buy them brand new.
Do like quebec november 1st to april 1st its a game changer
I don't know that we need CBC Vancouver to tell the rest of Canada how to drive in winter.
Vancouver winters are usually in the -5C to 5C range with occasional snow.
They do not have the prolonged snow and low -20C temperatures experienced in the rest of Canada.
I found studable tires in amazon do you recommend them?
Driving in snow with summer tires is on par with driving drunk imo, Just becuase you havent crashed yet doesent make it a good idea.
The price is not that high when you consider that you a wearing on two sets, if you use your regular tires year round you will have to replace them sooner.
I don't use winter tires. I just drive slow and safe and never in conditions where I'll encounter snow.
If I need to, I can always take a taxi. Taking a taxi once or twice a year is still cheaper than getting your tires swapped. Not to mention the cost of getting the tires in the first place.
Where do you live then?
At least you are smart enough not to risk it. Most people dont care and will go out in a big storm with all seasons and potentially cause more issues.
At least your smart and take a taxi. Unfortunately others dont.
Just use common sense. I lived in Mississauga, ON for last 20 years and never had winter tires. Use head/mind, if you have then. Do not go with your effing emotions! Think rationally.
You don't drive much. Just take the bus all the time. The short bus.
We've been running proper winter tires for years: Yokohama Geolander GO-72s. They're the best we've ever driven on. In fifteen years we've never been stuck, never run off the road, never had to stay home. We live in central B.C. where we contend with piles of unploughed snow and minus 40C. Please, spend the money on the best winter tires you can afford.
Would you rather spend for winter tires once or car repair damage or a coffin...
Here in the far East Coast Province its by law to have winter tire from Dec1 to 15March
I think people don’t get them due to the cost. My set of winter tire without rims where about 500.
Colin it’s more so the hassle, transporting them, mounting them, and finding a place to store the other set
“I can’t stop”
Isn’t even trying to modulate braking.... it’s not just about winter tires, it’s about knowing how to drive properly.
When it snows, an all-season tire will lose 80% of the grip that they once had. A winter tire will increase this to only a 70% loss of the grip that you once had in dry weather with all-season tires. Having 30% of the grip that you used to have is 50% better than only having 20% of the grip that you used to have. It is still not much, but much better than almost nothing.
My advice to everyone is this: Buy 'ALL-WEATHER Tires' (they are softer than all-season tires). The new compound designs of the new 'All-Weather' tires allow the soft rubber to withstand the heat of summer without wearing away quickly, giving you almost as much tread-life as a regular all-season tire even though you keep using them all year long. But when the snow comes, they give 80% of the traction advantages of the best winter tires, and even better traction than the lower-quality winter tires out there. So forget having to switch over from all-season to winter tires and back again each year, just go and get a set of all-weather tires on your vehicle and forget about having to do that tire change each year. Keep your old winter tires or all-season tires as 'spare-tires' for when you get a flat.
What about these new all weather tires I have heard about, are they something to fill the gap between winter and all season tires?
No
They are like lower-quality winter tires that you can leave on your vehicle all year long. They are almost as good as winter tires in the snow, and way better than all-season tires in the snow. And during the summer they are almost as good as the best all-season tires during that time also. They really are all anyone needs in Canada.
All season tires are not created equally. I have a VW Golf running Michelin Premier all seasons and a BMW running Nokian winter tires. I was so impressed with the performance of the Michelin tires that I cancelled my order on winter tires. Nearly as good as my other car on full winters. Once they do wear down they won’t be seeing winter anymore. I’ve owned diff all season tire brands, some are useless in the winter regardless of thread life
I think you were impressed by having a front wheel drive car with a front engine versus a rear wheel drive car with a front engine.
Gypsy Salami my BMW is actually AWD. .
George L I think it depends on the car too. I once had a Honda Civic and that thing was light on tires.
Can you just use winter tires for all the year long?
Yes but you'll burn through a set per year.
I. Fawzy absolutely not, due to their compound and design, once the weather warms up or even dries a slight bit, they become obsolete and lead to too much body toll, unwanted push from either axles of the car and result in a tire that is faster to bald than if it was doing burnouts day and night. If possible, keep an all season set and a winter set.
Snow tires are great, but swap them off on the legislated date, otherwise they'll wear out very quickly in warm temperatures.
It’s HOW you drive! Cannot drive like its summer! Spinning tires shows you don’t know how to drive in snow. Gotta go a lot slower, winter tires are not going to save you on ice!
True! But you also need the right tool for the right job. Ever try eating a steak with only chopsticks eating soup (not a thick stew) with a knife? It's possible but ...SMH
Gypsy Salami : true, winter tires can help, better than summer tires. Thanks for stating the obvious.
We Should Invest in Winter Tires.
Fyi, In Quebec, it is mandatory to have winter tires between Dec. 1st and March 15. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@1:38, you show a Firestone WeatherGrip tires, then show a sidewall of a different Firestone tire. Fact is, Firestone WeatherGrip is a 3-peak mountain-snowflake all-weather tire that meets the minimum traction standard for a winter tire.
just get all-weather tires and that's it. they are better than summers in the cold, but not as good as winters.
They should have shown clear the difference the stop distance with normal tyres vs winter tyres
Poor promotion of product
Real Eyez they didnt show because there is no proof. U shouldnt be driving fast in the snow to begin with to need a lesser stop time. Its the biggest scam.
They are soft and work better in low temperatures
the issue alot of people don't see is that all seasons tire are not designed to handle Canada's mildest winters plus have two sets of tyres typically they'll last twice as long if switched over on time so u gets your moneys worth regardless
The main problem for many people is that they only put 5,000 km per year on their cars equipped with AWD and all season tires instead of the average 20,000 km.
It becomes an expensive headache to outfit the car with winter tires. So these people just avoid driving in new snow, or take taxis. They are being smart.
@@georgeetoile6686 if persons choose not to drive then fine.. but if they are going to, could be 1000 miles a year more risk is just more risk a friend total her vehicle 5 kilos from her home just 5km so distance is irrelevant once ur on the road.. put it this way just as how tires wear down their water handling capabilities diminish it's similar running all season in wintery conditions u don't get that 10, 15 or 20% advantage of a true winter tire
@@georgeetoile6686 most people can afford it they would rather do something else i seen guys in Vancouver pimp out their rides or friends of mine could smoke one less pack of cigarettes a week and save the cash, steel rims are cheap, Canadian tire have budget and premium tire clearances every year.. tires a half to a quarter of original prices even a all weather tyres which can run year round .. but life and safety isn't that important people would rather spend 20,000 to 40G on a new ride to get AWD which doesn't do anything for stopping 😳 4WD has been around for years and it sure didn't stop them from flipping back in the days.. ESC /ESP is one of the the best things put in modern vehicles coupled with good tyres and abit of skill u set for the winter my friend
As a Norwegian I'm surprised that winter tyres is seen as "optional" by people in Canada... Here we swap tyres each season as a matter of course, like it was clothing.
The only debate is whether or not it should be studded winter tyres.
What is the difference between all season tires and all weather tires? Time to do a segment on the difference.
Nothing! It's like the difference between a spork and a foon. They are the same crap.
You use a spoon for soup and chopsticks for eating small things or would you rather only have a spork?
The main difference: All-weather tires are rated with the "three-peak mountain snowflake" symbol. All-season tires are rated with the "mud and snow" (M+S) symbol. Therefore, all-weather tires will perform better than all-season tires in the winter. However, all-weather tires will not perform better than winter tires in the winter, due to the characteristics of the tires.

I’m in all seasons on my rear wheel drive grand marquis. Get at me 😂
Its not so much people "dont want to spend money for winter tires" but rather people genuinely don't have the money. I'm about 30 now and in my early to mid twenties, it wouldn't have been feasible for me to dish out ~$800 for a set of tires. I would have loved to. Now that I'm a more stable financially, I always run them. People understand the benefits of winter tires but some genuinely can't afford them.
buy all weather tyres instead of all seasons if you can't afford a dedicated winter set that should give you more overall traction year round
Can afford a PlayStation, eating out and partying? If yes, you can afford winter tires.
@@toolbaggers damn are u my fbi agent
I have new all seasons on and I’ve had no issues in Calgary.
Let's go flames
& this is what people dont understand. Just because you "have no issues" does not mean you do not need winter tires. Winter tires will stop your car faster, they will allow you to suddenly avoid somebody who cuts you off or allow you to gain grip on ice quicker then an all season tire would. The best all season tire is NOT as good as the cheapest winter tire. Winter tires make a big difference and they should be mandatory
bryanviper Id get them if I could afford them
Go Habs.
@@bryanviper thank god my car came with summer tires. I was forced to get a dedicated winter set hehe. I believe in winter tires. Many reviews show a clear advantage in stopping distance, acceleration, cornering, and control with winters - with differences being in meters! A few meters can mean avoiding a collision or hitting something. People who think "nah, I just drive to the conditions" on their all seasons are pathetically ignorant.
Because of the normally 'Mild' weather that South-Western B.C. gets, it's sensible that most don't think they need winter tires. Okay then, just get these new 'All-Weather' tires instead when your all-season tires wear out and that will be good enough for most people, as they are halfway between all-season and winter tires in terms of traction, yet you can use them in the hot summers with no problems.
You´ll pretty much be fine driving on winter tires during the ENTIRE year
Yes, but you'll need to buy new tires twice as often.
I was suggest a campaign for annual reminders or discounts to take care of these issues before winter. I believe most people are not concerned with what type of tires are on their vehicles. Unfortunately, RUclips videos and complaining are not enough.
This is where governments should step in and make laws.
In Sweden its mandatory to have winter tires or M+S from 1 december to march or even before if it starts snowing in october.
I can’t believe the US dont have laws for this.
I would never drive without my spike tires, if i really need too break or avoid an accident by turning 300$ is worth saving my life.
When it gets cold below freezing your summer tires turn into lawn mawer tires, they become hard and wont help you much at all, you will slide like having a pair of skis instead of tyres.
If you manage to even get out of your parking lot :)
One thing that is interesting is that buses and trucks dont need summertyres. 😇
Up here in New England we just let er rip Boston style. lol no laws needed. Plus the roads are iced and cleared fairly quick. Just use ya blinkah and get out the way of the wackos and you'll be fine.
It amazes me how winter tires are not required by law in southern Ontario. Especially even BC requires them on highways.
Part of being a competent driver is to ensure your cars are in suitable condition to drive. If you can afford winter tires, you can’t afford driving in winter
@Cool Story Bro BC, with its mild winter, requires winter tires on highways. Therefore, Ontario, with its more severe winter, should also require winter tires by law. Having winter tires reduces your braking distance compared against A/S tires, under 7 degrees Celsius. Being able to accelerate and decelerate more effectively reduces your chances of being involved in a collision. An individual driver not having a collision doesn't prove anything.
Winter tires and All seasons are already outdated. Most people go with performance (summer tires) and all weather tires. Those offer the best for what ever climate you lived in.
I'm surprised that chains were not brought up
Bodyshops make the most money in winter I have worked in many diffrent parts of the automotive industry with 30+ years People going on used websites for Used tires ..70% of used tires are from Scrap yards off of cars that been in a crash or been sitting in a parking spot for many years The chances you just bought old aged tires / damaged is high Broken steel belts and other issues is not worth the cost.
Mud and snow tires are no better in alot of cases then "All season" You can drive all spring/summer/fall with any type of tire And get away with it ...Deep snow and ice is unforgiving Having a softer rubber along with a Snow and ice tire is key This means In cold temps a softer rubber tire will hold better on ice then a .."long tread life" tire Think of it this way ..Ever see a hockey game?..That puck is hard rubber for a reason Ever see a car in the ditch in winter? Might of been a hockey player driving The cost of 4 Snow & Ice tires is still have the cost of Having a front bumper replaced and painted Plus the tow and taxes. Oh and don't forget the guy you read ended!! Or the diffrence in your insurance rate jumping.
Best items to have to in winter driving : Ice Tires I find Blizzak tires are my top choice. I have them slightly under the full psi they should be for more tire to road.
4x4/AWD having power to all tires go's with having 4 tires to stop it helps with controlable movement
Worst reason/areas of the road that cause the most crashes : Hills,Turns, Speed (yes even the speed limit) Bridges ----Bridges normally have a openning underneath where cold air rushes under making whatever is on the bridge cool much faster Leaving black ice So you may have dry clear roads where the slush and water has run onto the bridge where it freezes
Watch some youtube videos on winter crashes Take note of where the the crash took place many of them are with cars and truck not on a level straight road combied with bad tires. If a car with the best tires and 4x4 set up can stop from say 80kms/hr 500ft And you dont have any of those items You should not be on a road that has a 80km speed limit Because you should only be doing 50km at best The other idea is not to drive that day ..whats the cost of Snow tires now? Miss a day of work? Crash the car and miss the same day of work And pay in one form or another?
I don't know about all wheel drive, but 4 wheel drive does decrease your stopping distance dramatically compared to front or rear wheel drive. As long as I'm not driving like a moron and plan ahead for a stop, I can come to an aggressive stop almost as well as normal by downshifting (manual) and lightly using the brake. If I'm under 10mph, I can grind to a halt just like dry pavement by slamming on the brake only.
The should make his mandatory across Canada
The Vancouver area is geographically very different than the rest of Canada. So don't apply that "Canada is cold/snowy winters" to our region here.
@@user-pu3cf9pd2m Vancouver goes below 7 degrees so winters tires are needed.
@@kurts3779 no. Winter tires are needed in the days it snows. There are some nights where it hits -2 or whatever, but on those nights the roads get salted. I've never slipped or lost traction driving in the rain in Decembers when it's 3-4 degrees. It also depends on the type of drivetrain you have. My 4Matic + all seasons haven't failed yet.

#1- make sure they hold wind!
best tires to get are all weather tires. They are different tha all seasons if yall didnt know.
Lol at 1:35 that IS NOT AN ALL SEASON TIRE. 100% WINTER TIRE. And that tire with M+S in the next frame is not that same tire. Caught you, lol.
Not everyone has $1800 for winter tires. Especially when you only need them maybe 20 times in a winter
Summer tire, all season, all weather, winter
1:36 that is not an all season tire! That is a winter tire!
Actually, to be more specific, it's an all weather tire. A tire that has the 3 peak mountain snowflake but can be driven throughout all 4 seasons. Technically, him saying "all season" is correct. Him explaining it as a typical all season is incorrect as these tires do not freeze in the cold like typical all seasons.
PiroFyre No it’s not. At that specific moment that I described its a pure winter tire, not an all weather tire! That tire cannot be used in warmer weather, unless you want to prematurely wear them out! An all weather tire can be used for four seasons, and although the tread is more aggressive it’s not as aggressive as the tire described at that specific time in the video.
@@JimBic72 Clearly you know nothing about the new all weather tires. The compound is enhanced to withstand extreme heat and cold temperatures, effectively making all season tires obsolete.
I don’t believe winter tires should be mandatory!
But I do believe if you were involved in a car accident without winter tires you were held more liable! You should get a ticket if involved in an accident form properly ill-equipped vehicle!
Not everybody has to drive when it’s icy out.
If you have a four-wheel-drive that is mechanically.(Chain driven transfer case) They do stop faster!
It’s the hydraulic driven four-wheel-drive!
It is bald Tires it caused a problem!
On ice winter Bald winter tires aren’t better than new all seasons!
Should be law!
I wear winter tires all year round they don't wear down like you'd think they would, far better traction all the way around.
Rex Mundi If those winter tires don't wear down, it is because they are old and the rubber has oxidized, making them almost as hard as summer tires. But the winter capabilities are not as good as when they were newer.
@@georgeetoile6686 I change at 80% and get years out of them. Nothing you said is true or makes sense. As a Canadian and professional driver I'll trust my experience, but thanks.
1:41 winter tyres has spikes LOL
For best stopping distances you need to disable the Antiloc Brake System (ABS). It says so right in your car's manual and includes instructions on how to do it. It's only really useful at somewhat higher speeds for those who don't have the skills to properly manage a skid, in stop and go city traffic it's basically useless and puts you at greater risk of rear ending someone.
What car manual tells you how to disable the ABS for winter?
Not everybody has the skills to do threshold braking Mr. Formula 1.
99.9999% of people just mash the brakes and pray to their god regardless of ABS or not.
That is something that I do not want to try.
Ive always known M+S tires as mountain and snow tires. Any M+S tire worth buying for winter or all weather use has the snowflake in the mountain. There are M+S rated tires that do not have the snowflake symbol, they are not worth it for the M+S rating, they are not good for winter conditions
M+S is mud and snow. The snowflake inside the mountain symbol is what you want as a winter tire.
Are you a boomer?
Nathan Fielder already made this video.. Protect with your family with sipes!
"I dont have money for another set of tires, they cost to much"
They may cost more up front but you dont spend much more year over year. When you're driving on the summers you arnt putting wear on the winters, and vice versa. You end up paying the same in the end AND you're a safer, more controlled driver.
Dont wanna pay to get them swapped every year. Get a cheap set of rims from a wrecker and just after 2 years you've saved money. Also say goodbye to the stress of making an appointment at the tire shop every winter. It's easy for a mechanic to put 4 tires and rims on, or just do it yourself at home.
Just checked my tires and I have that little M+S symbol. good to go in these BC winters!
You need the mountain snowflake. M+S is the bare minimum
yes. we need winter tires for snow or ice. enough of this stupidity and ignorance.
Winter tires will not compensate for people’s lack of driving skill, I have driven snow only on All-Seasons and refuse to change to dedicated winters. If there is enough snow that you can’t drive properly, then stay home. Learn to threshold brake, side braking and using the car’s oversteer characteristic to your advantage. Also lastly, keep your speed LOW!! just because you have snow tires doesn’t mean you can still go 100 in a 70 and expect to get away with it like youd in the dry.
Lol, "Not worth the investment." Do people think if you have 2 sets of tires that they only last as long as a single set? Yes, there is upfront cost but total cost of ownership is nearly the same and you are safer.
If you are going to run one set all year do everyone a favour and get some winter rated tires (all weather rather than all season). For your average grocery getter it makes no difference in the summer and is markedly better in the winter (though still not as good as dedicated winter tires).
dubbreak In Ontario, winter tires are not mandatory. The road maintenance policy is to keep roads plowed and salted, with a resulting wet surface.
Winter tires are actually worse than summer or all season tires in braking in these conditions.
The alleged better low temperature flexibility of a winter formulated rubber is moot in these conditions.
People need to stop buying all-season tyres and go buy all-weather tyres. The difference? All season tyres are summer tires with a bit of cold weather capabilities. All weather tyres are based off winter tyres, but also have warm weather capabilities.
Do you wear snow boots playing football in the summertime? Summer tires for summer. Winter tires for winter.
J L This is all semantics, with no real definition. Newer all season tires are being formulated with silicon particles imbedded which extends their performance in lower temperatures.
The trend seems to be towards an all year tire, at least in the UK with a mild winter climate.
In Canada, not so much due to a longer snow season.

I just wished that CBC News, would acknowledge that the tires you buy are NOT brand New. So they might not be up to "specs".
There is a code on the Tire that will tell you the year it was made not only that, the month and the day. So you might buy "Brand New Tires" but they might 8 to 15 years old. Go figure about this bad news coverage!
As a side note, with the B.C. Gov't. Will it cover the costs (destroying all out of date tires, and where do they go and what does the Tire Manufacture get?) of these useless tires when and IF they deem a tire can only be held for 1 year? Wanna bet that BF Goodrich/Good Year and any other tire manufacturer will comply? The answer is NO!

I know in alberta tires have been recycled for paving as well as used as a surface in playgrounds.
@@rhaven50 Yeah, and the rubber playgrounds are the best. Way easier to clean up and softer after tumbles. 👍
It's like buying milk and eggs.
It is true that older used tires age due to oxidation and the rubber becomes harder. An unused old tire probably has the same problem.
How much is winter tires company paying you for this
'If you're unsure of your ability to drive...chose NOT to'.
Meaning, if you're not from Winnipeg, or Prince George...stay home.
Quit Hollerin All season tires seem adequate in winter if you are driving in an urban Ontario city, providing you do NOT attempt to drive when DEEP fresh snow is on the roads. It is a question of ideal versus adequate in winter driving. There are no absolutes.
Please make the law ASAP, we are talking about peoples lives here!!!
Another myth. Now, i dont know about all wheel drive BUT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE with a TRANSFER CASE will ABSOLUTELY IMPROVE braking distance. For anyone who does not believe....go to YT Channel Oneil Driving School and search for 4WD and improved braking. One video I watched, an F250 plow pickup nearly stopped 2 full truck lengths quicker in FOUR HIGH RANGE. I wish
People would quit perpetuating this false myth. Oneil driving also does one video with a Tacoma...almost like mine and 4HI the stopping distance is vastly quicker in 4HI. ABS on will also increase stop distance. If you can turn ABS off, braking on snow and ice is improved as well. BTW...I use Goodyear Duratracs in the winter. In summer, Goodyear Adventure.
How does AWD or 4WD improve braking? I can see how it would improve acceleration, but not braking.
