Cruise into Summer with Downtown Toyota
We know the importance of getting winter tires, here in Canada, but what about when the weather gets nice? Did you know that there are tires specially designed to give you particularly good performance on the summer roads? All-season tires are great for most of the year, but if you want an excellent drive when the weather is nice, you might consider getting a set of summer performance tires. Join the team here at Downtown Toyota in Toronto, ON, as we explain the benefits of these warm-weather tires.
Why Summer Tires?
The easiest way to keep your Toyota driving for a long time is to stay up to date on its scheduled maintenance recommended in the owner’s manual.
This includes a handful of routine services as well as things that are necessary after a certain number of miles driven. Services that you can get done at Downtown Toyota include, but are not limited to:
- Oil changes (with filter replacement)
- Fluid checks for transmission, windshield wiper, coolant, and more
- Brake service for brake pads, brake fluid, and rotor resurfacing
- Check Engine light investigation
What If It Rains?
Your Toyota’s tires also need special attention in regards to upkeep and maintenance. Because the tires are what help you grip the road, keeping them in good shape means you’re driving safer. Some things to consider with the tires includes:
- Filling with air to the proper PSI
- Inspecting for bulges, cracks, or excessive wear
- Replacing tires when the tread is low
In addition to maintaining your all-season tires, you can also make the switch to winter tires at Downtown Toyota. Winter tires are specifically made for extremely cold temperatures and have grooves that improve traction. Check out our Tire Centre to see the wide variety of tires we offer!
What If It Gets Cold?
Well, these are called “summer tires” for a reason. Unlike your winter tires, summer performance tires get firm when the temperature starts to dip below 7 degrees. This will impact their ability to keep hold of the road, and cause additional stress on them which could cause them to wear out faster. Once it gets cold, it’s time to switch back to your winter tires.
