Tire Swap at
Vancouver Volkswagen

Make sure you have the right tires for the season ahead and get your tires swapped at Vancouver Volkswagen.

Do I Need To Swap My Tires In Vancouver?

The temperate climate of Vancouver may make you question whether you need a set of winter and summer tires. If you will be driving through the mountains, such as going to Whistler, or traveling the Coquihalla highway, then you are legally required to have winter tires. There are also some perks to having two sets of tires, such as a longer lifespan for both sets of tires, and better stopping power all year long. Although winters are relatively mild here, it is recommended that you change from your summer tires to winter tires at temperatures below 7-degrees celsius.

When should I swap my tires?

If you are traveling the routes listed above, you will need to put your winter tires on October 1st, and keep them on until at least March 31st, and possibly until April 30th depending on where you are traveling. If you will not be traveling through the mountains, you can swap your tires when the weather changes. At Vancouver Volkswagen, we offer early bird tire swap specials in both the spring and fall so you can save some money and avoid the rush - this is the perfect time to swap your tires.

How Do I Know If I Need Tires?

When you bring your vehicle to Vancouver Volkswagen for a tire swap, we will make note of your tire wear and tread depth. One of our friendly advisors will let you know when it is time to start thinking about new tires.
If you're at home, an easy way to tell if you need new tires is the quarter test:

1. Put a quarter between your tire tread
2. If you can see the Caribou's nose, it may be time for new tires.
3. Repeat step one on all four tires, and check a couple of different spots on each tire.
