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 Windsor Winters Do to Tires

Windsor's winters are the mildest in the country, so the assumption is that all-seasons will do. The problem is not snowfall, it is freezing rain and the near-zero temperatures that dominate the season. Ice storms roll in off Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, and a mild average hides plenty of days where the road is wet and the thermometer sits below 7 degrees Celsius, which is where all-season rubber already underperforms. Ice grip, not snow depth, is what Windsor drivers should be buying.

When to switch: Late October or early November. Milder does not mean warm enough for all-seasons to work properly.
