We're a little into December now, and many drivers are faced with a dilemma: when is the right time to have a seasonal tire changeover performed? The truth is that now is a great tire to schedule your changeover, or even shop for new seasonal tires if you need replacements. It’s neither too late nor too early to make this investment in your vehicle’s safety and performance.

Why December is a Great Time to Switch to Winter Tires

Winter Weather Preparation: Winter is far from over. In fact, December often brings the first significant snowfall in many regions. With the brisk months of January and February ahead, you will get plenty of use from a new set of winter tires installed in December. So if you haven’t switched to winter tires yet, now is the perfect time. Winter tires are designed to provide better traction, handling, and stopping power on snow and ice.

Sales and Promotions: Will you need a new set of winters this year? Thought you missed out on deals after Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Not so! There are still tire rebates available. However, it's important not to delay on any end-of-year sales and promotions. They won't last forever. Right now is an excellent opportunity to find discounts on both winter and all-season tires, which means you can also get ahead on shopping for spring/summer tires if you know you're going to need a set after this winter.

Many drivers have a seasonal tire changeover performed when the temperature reached 45 degrees or below consistently. Others wait until a major snow storm is on the horizon. All in all, it's a busy time for tire shops in November and December.
