Shipping winter tires to Kingston, ON, free to your door anywhere in Canada, with Affirm available at checkout to pay over time. Kingston sits in eastern Ontario's freezing-rain corridor, where ice, not snow, is the recurring winter hazard. Below 7 degrees Celsius, all-season rubber hardens and loses grip, which is why a proper winter tire shortens braking on snow and ice by a wide margin.

What Kingston Winters Do to Tires

The region between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa valley is prone to freezing rain events that coat everything in clear ice, the same corridor hit hardest by the great ice storm. Add a long stretch of the 401 that runs through open, wind-exposed country and you get a combination of glare ice and drifting. Winter tires here are chosen for ice performance first. If you regularly drive the 401 between Toronto and Montreal in winter, this is not a place to compromise.

When to switch: Late October, ahead of the first freezing-rain system.
