When is the best time to install winter tires on my Infiniti?

You want to install your winter tires before it gets too cold outside. When the weather outside dips below 7° and creeps towards the freezing point, your winter tires will be able to maintain their flexibility while summer tires or all-season tires will begin to harden which means longer braking distances and less grip. Therefore, mid to end of October is the right time to install winter tires on your Infiniti vehicle.

How do I know if my winter tires are still good for another season?

The tread depth determines the effectiveness of your winter tires. A deep tread allows your tires to evacuate snow while the small grooves on the tire create suction with the road in icy conditions. Therefore, tread depth is what you want to look at to determine if your winter tires are still in good condition and ultimately, you want the depth to be at least 4.8 mm to guarantee that your winter tires last all season.

How about winter wheels?

There are a few reasons why we would recommend you getting winter tires and winter wheels that fit those tires. The first is that by getting a winter wheel and tire package, you can decrease the size of both your winter wheels and your winter tires compared to your summer wheels which means that in the long run, you can save money because you are buying smaller winter tires in the future. Moreover, getting winter wheels is an affordable way to avoid expensive repairs on your summer wheels that might be damaged due to hidden sidewalks and other elements that can damage your wheels this winter.
