Summer Tires On in Brooklin

Summer tires go back on in Brooklin when the cold is actually over. Winter rubber feels great in February and wears out fast once Baldwin Street, Winchester Road, and Thickson Road North are warm and dry. The spring swap is how you keep that winter set for next year.

Brooklin is north Whitby. Baldwin Street, Winchester Road, and Thickson Road North drop you down to Dundas Street East and the shop. The first snowfall often sticks on the hills north of town before it sticks on the 401, which is why Brooklin drivers book the winter swap early.

Around Durham, April is the usual window, after daytime temperatures stay above 7°C. Switch too early and a late freeze catches you on summer tread. Switch in June and you have already scrubbed a season of winter tread onto dry pavement.

Those north roads are also where a worn winter tire from last year gets exposed. If the set in the garage looks shallow or the sidewalls are cracked, bring them in anyway. We will tell you before they go back on the car.

Bring the summer set, or the all-seasons you run in the warm months. We take the winters off, inspect them so you know if they are worth keeping, and put the warm-weather tires on balanced, with pressures set. If you need a new summer set instead of last year's, we will quote it on the spot.
