Spring Tire Swap Service
As temperatures consistently rise above 7 degrees Celsius in spring, it’s the ideal time to switch from winter tires to your all-season or summer tires. Delaying the swap can cause winter tires to wear down quickly in warmer conditions, as the softer rubber compounds break down faster and reduce performance. Booking your spring tire swap on time helps protect your winter tires for future seasons while ensuring your vehicle benefits from the improved handling, braking, and fuel efficiency of all-season or summer tires in warmer weather.
Tire Mounting & Balancing
For customers with only one set of wheels, this service includes a full tire change where your winter tires are professionally removed, and your spring or summer tires are mounted onto the same wheels. Once installed, the wheels are precisely balanced to ensure even weight distribution, helping eliminate vibrations, improve ride comfort, and prevent uneven tire wear.
Summer vs All-Season vs All-Weather Tires: Which to Buy?
Each type of tire delivers a variety of advantages in certain conditions, making it important to understand the difference between each to make the best decision. Here’s a look at how these tires compare:
| Tire Comparison | Best Use | Advantages | Weaknesses |
| Summer | Warm weather driving | Maximum grip, shortest braking, best handling in heat and rain | Unsafe in cold (less than 7°C), no snow/ice traction |
| All-Season | Year-round mild climates | Balanced performance, long tread life, decent rain & light snow handling | Not strong in heavy snow or extreme heat performance |
| All-Weather | Year-round with winter | Winter-rated, good snow/ice grip, no seasonal swap needed | Less performance than summer or all-season in dry & warm conditions |
Seasonal Tires FAQs
What’s the difference between a tire swap and a tire change?
A tire swap is switching between two sets of mounted tires, such as winter and summer. A tire change means dismounting tires from wheels and installing new ones.
Do new tires need to be balanced after installation, or are they balanced from the factory?
New tires are not perfectly balanced from the factory and should always be balanced after installation for smooth driving and even wear.
Where is the best place to get tires for my Chevrolet in Orangeville, Ontario?
A good option is our Tire Centre at Royal Chevrolet in Orangeville, where you can get tires and professional installation for your vehicle.
Does a tire change cost more than a tire swap?
Yes, a tire change usually costs more because it involves removing and mounting new tires, then balancing them as well, while a tire swap just changes already-mounted tire sets.
