When temperatures drop below 7°C in Canada at the end of fall, it is time to switch to winter tires. When it rises above 7°C in the spring, it’s time to switch them back to the regular, typically all-season tires.
While this gives you the best gives you the best traction and control year-round, the cost of changing them twice a year adds up.
Changing tires that are on wheels (rims) (basic swap) costs $40 to $80 for a set of 4 – or an average of about $15 per tire.
For tires that are not on wheels, it costs an average of $80 to $160 for a set of 4 – or about $20 to $40 per tire as all the tires must be mounted and balanced on, which costs $15 to $30 per tire.
This short guide summarizes how much service providers are charging and how much people are paying to change, mount, balance and store tires and outline how keeping your winter tires on a separate set of steel rims can save you an average of $150 over their lifetime.
Changing a set of 4 tires that are already mounted on rims (basic swap) costs an average of $40 to $80 or about $10 to $20 per wheel, not including balancing.
Balancing costs an extra $40 to $50 per set of 4 or $10 to $20 per wheel and should be done every 1 to 2 years or if you notice signs such as increasing vibration at high speeds – particularly in the floor or steering wheel – increased fuel consumption or uneven treadwear.

If you live in an apartment or condo, you may not have space to store the set of tires that aren’t on your vehicle. The average cost to store your tires is $60 to $100 per season (6 to 9 months). Fall/winter counts as 1 season, spring/summer is another.

$120 per change x 2 changes per year x 5 years = $1,200
To have the tires removed and swapped onto the same rims twice a year for an average of a 5 year tire lifespan, costs $60 to $80. This comes out to $160 a year on average just on the swap. If you consider that price over the span of 5 years, it amounts to a stunning $800.
$300 for 4 steel rims ($70 to $80 per rim)
+ $120 to have winter tires mounted onto the new rims and balanced
+ $80 per change x 2 swaps per year x next 4 years = $640
= $1,060
The average cost to have the wheel (tire and rim) switched is half as much ($50 vs $100), but if you factor in a couple of tire balances ($50) over 5 years your maintenance costs are from about equal to $100 less.
However, using a second set of rims means it takes much less time to change tires, you can change them yourself, you own 2 sets of rims instead of 1 and limiting the number of times a tire is removed and mounted to a rim reduces the chances of damaging the bead.
If the tires have already been mounted and balanced and you are able, have the space available and can stay warm enough while changing tires, you can save $80+tax or more per year on the labour costs by doing the swap yourself. You also save the hassle of booking an appointment, dropping it off, waiting or having to go back.
All you need are a few tools and the time and money savings will make up for their initial cost in 3 years or so:
Total startup costs: ~$250
It is highly recommended that you mount one set of tires onto a set of steel rims and keep your main set of tires on its own set.
With alloy/aluminum rims, the road salt used to melt snow and ice will eat away at the metal and significantly decrease their stability, structure, and lifespan.
In addition, the process of mounting and unmounting tires onto a set of rims requires applying a considerable amount of stress on the bead and sidewall. Doing this twice annually year after year increases the risk of distorting the sidewall or tearing the bead.
Opting for steel rims will help to preserve your tires and rims and keep them in good condition longer.
Plus, if and when you plan on reselling the vehicle you have an added set of rims and tires that will add to the overall value of the vehicle. If needed you can sell the rim separately, as rims in good condition hold value.
During the summer when you are not using the tires, store them in a clean, dry (away from solvents, lubricants, fuels, chemicals), dark (in tire bags to limit their exposure to UV radiation) and cool (below 15ºC). Basements and temperature-controlled garages are ideal. The temperature and humidity in most garages, sheds and attics fluctuate considerably, which you want to avoid.
Maintain the vehicle manufacturer recommended air pressure and if they are on rims, stack them on each other, no more than 4 high. If they are not on rims, stand them on end and turn them a bit once a month. Maintain the vehicle manufacturer recommended air pressure.

North Dallas is an area of numerous communities and neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas. The phrase "North Dallas" is also sometimes used to include any suburb or exurb north of Dallas proper within the metropolitan area. The majority of North Dallas is located in Dallas County, while a small portion is located in Collin and Denton Counties. North Dallas generally includes areas of Dallas north of Northwest Highway, along with Lake Highlands and areas of Dallas north of IH-635 known as Far North Dallas. The area has strong social and economic ties to the Dallas enclave of Park Cities, and two inner suburbs of Dallas, Richardson and Addison. It is the wealthiest part of Dallas, but has its adjacent, less resourced areas as well.
Largely residential Lake Highlands is a sprawling district covering quiet suburbs like Town Creek and Moss Farm. Lake Highlands Town Center mall has homeware stores and a farmers’ market, while restaurant options range from Ethiopian to Vietnamese, as well as American burger spots and craft breweries. White Rock Creek Greenbelt has a paved bike trail that connects with Flag Pole Hill Park and White Rock Lake nearby

A bicycle is a mechanism that can withstand the most frosty weather without any consequences (there are some subtleties with hydraulic brakes and air forks and shock absorbers - they are not designed for operation below -15 degrees).
It is worth considering the complete maintenance of the bike. In the workshop, they will replace the old lubricant with a fresh one, eliminate backlash. They will also be able to timely identify component wear and other hidden flaws that have not yet shown themselves.
Bleeding the brakes will be a very useful procedure, because the presence of traces of water or air in the old fluid will adversely affect braking in sub-zero temperatures.
You also need to check the pads and rotor for wear, and adjust the rim brakes.
In winter, the chain is exposed to moisture in the form of snow. Then he also thaws in the room. Dry condition grease should be replaced with wet condition grease (for example: Weldtite TF2 Wet Lube Wet Lube or DAYTONA Wet Weather Chain Lube . If you use paraffin lubricants, you need to switch to winter paraffin (eg Squirt Low Temp)
Summer and winter tires differ in rubber composition - it does not tan in the cold. Technically, if you have summer tires with an aggressive tread, then you can ride comfortably on it (if you don’t maneuver sharply). But if you look at it from a safety point of view, then the risk of slipping is always present, and therefore the risk of injury too.
There are several options. There are differences in the number of spikes and in shape. Spikes are cylindrical and conical, the latter hold better when maneuvering on slippery surfaces, but are more expensive. Cylinders are cheaper, but slip on ice when maneuvering.
The approach to choosing clothes should be such that at first, as soon as you go outside, you will be cool, and that after five to ten minutes of active skiing you will be well warmed up, but not sweaty. Sweating in the cold is extremely undesirable, because if you sweat, you can only dry out in a warm room. If, nevertheless, the underwear has become wet, then you should go without stopping, not allowing yourself to cool down.
For winter riding, there are special cycling jackets with a windproof top layer and a high collar. This jacket protects from the wind, at the same time it breathes well and brings steam out. As an analogue, you can choose a cross-country jacket - they are similar in properties, the cut is slightly different.
The bottom, as a rule, is winter cycling pants with a windstopper in front. They have an insulated diaper and straps for better fixation on the body.
Thermal underwear should be chosen for active sports, without natural fabrics in the composition. When cycling, moisture removal is important, and natural fabrics, on the contrary, absorb moisture and quickly become saturated with sweat, which will disrupt thermoregulation.
Shimano ready-made solutions for contact pedals:
Any warm boots with hard soles are suitable for toptals.
There is a huge variety of winter gloves, here you should pay attention to the presence of windproof membranes, as well as the amount of padding. There are no universal gloves for any weather. Up to -10 can be used without insulation, only with a membrane. But at -15, hands will feel comfortable in some lobsters from REX
The best option is a fleece balaclava and a helmet. A helmet will protect you from injury in case of any trouble, plus it provides additional protection from the wind. The balaclava protects the neck (thyroid gland, throat) and ears from frostbite.
In winter, even with a slight minus at speeds above 10 km / h, the eyes most likely begin to water. This interferes with the review, and is simply harmful to the eyes. It is best to use standard sports glasses with a plastic base. The second option is a ski mask. Both options will protect your eyes from headwinds, snow and hypothermia.
The most ideal option is, of course, parks and forests. There is nothing better - to drive in the park in the morning on freshly fallen snow, a slight freshness freezes your cheeks. Breathe easily and comfortably.
It is more difficult to move along the sidewalks in the city. In winter, it is more difficult to maneuver on a bike, especially without studded tires . And the presence of ice on the sidewalk increases the risk of falling, and a pedestrian can also be hooked.
We generally consider driving on the roadway in winter life-threatening. We highly recommend that you go out on the road!
If you decide to leave for a long time, you should think about food on the way. A good solution is to pack food and drink in thermoses. Hot tea in a thermos Elite Deboyo can last up to 12 hours. Very cool - to arrange a halt in the winter forest with hot tea and sandwiches!
