Why Winter Tires Matter in Canada
Canadian winters can bring snow, ice, slush and consistently low temperatures. For passenger vehicles, these conditions can significantly change tire performance.
Forlander winter tires are developed with specialized rubber compounds and tread designs that remain more flexible in cold weather and provide additional biting edges for snow and ice.
Transport Canada notes that summer and all-season tires begin to lose elasticity below 7°C, Forlander winter tires are designed to retain flexibility at much lower temperatures.
