Tire safety: Why you need to switch to summer tires

As temperatures rise, experts are reminding drivers to switch from winter to summer or all-season tires for optimal road safety. CAA representative Alexander explains to Your Morning Ottawa why driving on winter tires in the summer increases the risk of hydroplaning and reduces braking efficiency. The segment covers the critical importance of a tire retorque to prevent wheels from detaching on the Queensway, how to use a Canadian quarter to check tread depth, and how potholes affect wheel alignment. Members can also access discounts through Cal Tire or learn about the CAA pit crew program for home tire changes.
