Why Choose a Separate Set of Winter Rim-and Tires?
Mounting winter tires on a dedicated set of rims can make seasonal changeovers simpler and reduce repeated mounting and removal from the same rims.
A separate winter setup may also:
• Help protect summer or custom rims from salt, slush and harsh winter conditions
• Make seasonal tire changes more convenient
• Provide practical steel or alloy rim options for winter use
• Allow you to keep a complete winter tire-and-rim assembly ready for installation
Correct wheel size, bolt pattern, offset, load requirements and vehicle compatibility are essential.

When Should You Install Winter Tires?
Don’t wait for the first major snowfall to start thinking about winter tires. Winter tires are designed to remain flexible and provide better traction as temperatures fall.
Transport Canada advises that below 7°C, all-season and summer tires begin losing elasticity and traction. It also recommends installing winter tires as a set of four to support consistent vehicle control and stability. Transport Canada winter-tire guidance
Book or request your winter setup early, as popular tire sizes and appointment times may become limited when colder weather arrives.
Winter Tire Questions
Do I need four winter tires?
Yes. Using four matching winter tires helps provide more consistent traction, handling and stability than mixing winter tires with all-season or summer tires.
Are winter tires and all-season tires the same?
No. Winter tires use tread patterns and rubber compounds designed for colder temperatures, snow and icy conditions. Look for the three-peak mountain and snowflake symbol when comparing winter tires.
Can I buy used winter tires?
Tim’s offers used winter tires subject to current inventory, tire condition, size and vehicle requirements. Contact us with your tire size or vehicle information to check available options.
Do I need separate rims for my winter tires?
Separate rims are not required, but they can make seasonal changeovers more convenient and help protect custom or warm-weather rims. Tim’s can help you compare compatible winter rim options.
