Why Winter Tires Are Essential for Ontario Roads

Even though Ontario does not legally require winter tires, equipping your vehicle with them is highly recommended. Winter tires are designed with specialized rubber compounds that remain flexible in cold temperatures, providing a better grip on icy and snowy roads. All-season tires harden in freezing weather, reducing traction and increasing the risk of slipping. Winter tires improve braking distances by up to 25% on snow and ice, ensuring you can safely navigate winter conditions.

With Brampton experiencing unpredictable winter weather, having the proper winter tires can make all the difference—whether you’re navigating icy residential streets or heading out on longer highway trips.

Understanding Your Winter Tire Options


When it comes to winter tires, different models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup have distinct needs. Here’s what you need to know about selecting the best tires for your vehicle.

Winter Tires for Electric Mercedes-Benz Models

Mercedes Electric vehicles like the EQB and EQE sedan require winter tires designed to support battery weight while also preserving range. Specialized low-rolling resistance tires are ideal for these models, helping to maintain efficiency while ensuring grip on slippery roads. The added weight of an electric vehicle demands durable tires that provide stability, especially when cornering on icy roads. At Mercedes-Benz Brampton, we offer winter tire packages that meet the unique requirements of our electric models, ensuring performance without sacrificing range.

High-Performance Winter Tires for AMG Models

Mercedes-AMG vehicles such as the AMG C 43 or the AMG GLE 63 need high-performance winter tires. These tires maintain traction and precision at higher speeds, ensuring you can continue to enjoy the dynamic driving experience you expect from an AMG model, even in cold conditions. Our selection of AMG-approved winter tires ensures that your vehicle retains its agility and braking power, whether you’re cruising through town or taking on more spirited drives.

Winter Tires for SUVs and Family Vehicles

If you drive a Mercedes-Benz SUV like the GLC, GLE, or GLS, winter tires must offer maximum traction and stability. SUVs require tires with reinforced sidewalls to manage their weight and support the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. These tires also have deep tread patterns to improve traction in snow and slush, making them perfect for road trips, commutes, and weekend adventures during the colder months. At Mercedes-Benz Brampton, we’ll help you find the right winter tires to complement your SUV, ensuring you can travel with confidence on any surface.

When Should You Install Your Winter Tires?


Timing your winter tire installation is crucial to ensure you’re prepared for the season's first snowfall. In Brampton, Ontario, we recommend installing winter tires by early to mid-November. This allows you to avoid the rush and ensures your vehicle is ready for unexpected weather changes. Don’t wait until the snow is already on the ground—winter tires perform best when installed ahead of freezing temperatures, keeping you safe as soon as the weather shifts.
