What Edmonton Winters Do to Tires
Unlike Calgary, Edmonton does not get the same regular chinook relief, so cold locks in for extended stretches. That sustained deep cold is precisely where all-season compounds harden and lose their bite, and it lasts for months rather than days. Packed snow builds up on residential streets and stays, so drivers here want both a cold-flexible compound and tread that keeps working on hard-packed snow over a long season.
When to switch: Early to mid October, and expect to keep them on well into April.
Alberta Winter Tire Rules
