What St. John's Winters Do to Tires

The local combination is brutal: heavy snowfall, high winds that drift and pack it, and coastal storms that swing between snow, freezing rain, and rain. Freezing rain in particular leaves glare ice that no all-season tire can handle, and the hills around the city mean you are regularly asking for traction on a slope. Ice performance is the top priority here, with enough tread depth to deal with the accumulation that follows.

When to switch: Mid to late October, ahead of the first major coastal storm.
