Bel-Air Toyota – The Right Tires for Ottawa’s Summer Roads

Posted on April 11, 2025

Your Guide to Smarter Tire Choices

Bel-Air Toyota knows Ottawa roads—from city commutes to summer highway getaways. That’s why we help you choose the tires that match your lifestyle and weather patterns. This season, should you pick all-season or summer tires? Here’s what to consider.

All-Season Tires: Ottawa-Ready Convenience

Designed for year-round flexibility, all-season tires are great for drivers who want reliability without the seasonal switch. Their unique tread patterns and weather-resistant rubber handle everything from rain to dry pavement with ease.

Why all-season works:

• Handles Ottawa’s mix of sun and showers
• Lasts longer, reducing frequent replacements
• Ideal for commuters and light travelers
• Works until temperatures drop below 7°C

They’re a balanced choice.

Summer Tires: Optimized for Warm Weather

When summer hits, and temperatures rise, so do the demands on your tires. Summer tires are the performance choice, designed to keep their grip even during scorching July days in Ontario.

Best for:

• Highways and long-distance trips
• Drivers who prioritize handling
• Vehicles with sport trim or tuned suspensions
• Avoiding hydroplaning during sudden summer rain

They don’t handle cold weather, so they’re best used May to October.
