Winter Tire Changeover in Saint John

Route 7 is a designated route in Saint John, and winter-ready tires matter wherever changing road conditions affect grip. New Brunswick recommends four snow tires, not a pair on just one axle, to keep traction balanced. During a changeover, have the shop inspect tread and sidewalls, set pressures, and check wheel fit and fasteners after installation.

If your winter tires are on separate rims, mention that when booking; ask the technician to mark their positions and look for uneven wear, cuts, bulges or embedded objects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

Yes. New Brunswick recommends four snow tires for winter driving. A matching set helps keep grip and handling balanced between the front and rear axles. Have the shop check that all four tires suit your vehicle and are free of damage or excessive wear.
The shop removes one set and installs the other, then checks tire condition, fit and inflation. Ask if wheel balancing is needed and whether the technician will retorque the wheels after installation. If tires are being moved between rims, confirm that mounting and balancing are included.
