Tires and Tread at Surrey Honda

We have tires for every season.  From all-season to winter tires in stock with big name brands and affordable pricing.

Here are various methods to calculate winter tire wear:

Tread wear indicators
A quick, easy way is to refer to the tire‘s tread wear indicators located inside the grooves. They are bars made of hard rubber lying sideways across the tread. When the tread is flush with the wear indicators – 2/32 of an inch or 1.6 millimetre – the tire needs to be replaced since it no longer provides effective traction on snow and ice.

Pre-winter wear level

If the depth of the tread measures 6/32 of an inch (4.8 mm) before the start of winter, the tire likely won’t last a full season, or the equivalent of about 10,000 kilometres. Those who plan to stretch their rubber’s life one more season just to save money may wind up paying for a lot more than a new set of tires after months of heavy snowfalls. Not all winter tires wear out at the same speed. Snow tires will generally last longer than models designed for icy conditions. Compound quality also plays a key role in tire durability.
The quarter test
A classic way to measure winter tire wear is to use a quarter. Insert a 25¢ Canadian coin in one of the grooves with the caribou facing down. If you see the tip of its nose, it means the tread depth no longer meets 6/32 of an inch, so the tire probably won’t last all winter, or 10,000 kilometres.

Preventing premature wear
Tire pressure

Properly-inflated tires will reduce wear and save fuel. Check the tire pressure once a week if you do a lot of mileage; in any case, check at least once a month. Inflate any tire that does not meet the recommended PSIs for your vehicle. The information can be found in your owner’s manual or a specific label inside the driver’s door frame.

Tire rotation, balancing and alignment
Tires should be balanced and rotated every 10,000 kilometres in order to prevent uneven tread wear. Directional tires must be rotated on the same side of the vehicle (front-rear), while non-directional tires must be rotated to form an X (ex.: front left to rear right). Tire alignment is recommended as soon as you feel that your vehicle pulls to the left or right, or when you notice uneven tread wear.
