- Calgarians are getting their tires switched in preparation for winter but are fewer people making the switch due to the cost of living? Margot Rubin reports.
Nothing beat a good set winter tire when you get use to it you will never go back🤷🏾♂️
Richest province in Canada can’t afford winter tires. Make that make sense.
As a calgarian who has crashed a few cars in the snow, get winters dont buy your kids christmas presents
You crashed because of your skill level.
I made that mistake years ago and almost paid the ultimate price. 👣👣👣
Winter tires should be mandatory, if you can't afford them, you should not be allowed to drive during winter. Take transit I don't care, if you wanna die and crash that's cool but don't put other people's lives in danger.
How about no?!Clearly your driving skill lacks.Stay off the road.Youre a hazard.
This. 💯!!!
Yeah…winter tires are going to make up for your lack of driving ability.Its always someone else,right?
@@ShayneCaesar I use chains and snow rated tires to rip up the ice and snow for the more skilled drivers in all seasons and all terrains.
@@v7G987tY3 chains?
Learn to drive would be the biggest you can do to handle conditions. I grew up here in Alberta living in Calgary, Edmonton and Fort McMurray. I’ve always used all weather tires (which are different than all season). I’ve only ever had winter tires on a 1994 Honda civic I drove for years. Winter tires falsify a lot of peoples driving abilities in the winter I’ve seen it many times 😂.
Winter tires lead to overconfidence at following too close.
There’s winter tire available 24 months to pay at Canadian tire .
I am a convert to winter tires there is no comparison
Albertans are the richest ppl in Canada, they can afford it
Accdg to this video, they can’t.
if you have all wheel drive, especially if it has snow mode, all seasons or terrain are good enough. winters i feel are meant for those who might only have 2 wheels working for them ah
How many times have I bailed you AWD people out with all seasons in the ditch?? Hahahah
Sure buddy. Sure.
@@factstology go get your front or rear tires stuck and who you gonna call.
Don't go any faster than 5kph on a road with a layer of half inch wet ice on it and you might save it from the ditch. I use v bar when it rains on ice.
snow tires are the best for snow and cold... and chains for wet ice.
my winters are 7 years old with sitll a good amount of tread left. is it time to change? are alloy rims worth the upgrade from my steelies?
You are past the lifespan of a tire. All tires should be changed after 6 years in service regardless of treadwear. Failure to do so can result in a blowout... look it up if you do not believe me.

This is false due to lack of information. The general recommendation is between 6 to 10 years regardless of tire wear or kilometers. Michelin and Bridgestone America both say 10 years is the absolute maximum, with Michelin adding that tires should be inspected on a yearly basis after year 5. Neither of them say 6 years is "past the lifespan of a tire".
That’s absolutely wrong. Don’t listen to this person. Talk to a tire shop.
they are not gonna preform like a new set
the compound can become more stiff and you may lose some traction as a result but I'd rather drive with 7 year old winter tires with lots of tread left than all season tires in the winter......regarding alloy wheels for winter, I don't see the advantage, if anything its a waste of money
Yes save some money go ahead dont worry about safety
0:39 driver of that nissan car should know by now there is something sticking on the underside.
Too broke sorry
