How Often Should You Change Your Tires?
As a rule, we typically recommend having your tires inspected at least twice a year for optimal safety and performance. Depending on your driving habits, road conditions, and tire maintenance, most sets will last between 40,000 to 100,000 kilometers, with winter tires specifically lasting about 3-4 seasons with proper storage during warmer months.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems are early detection tools that come standard with many vehicles and are designed to alert the driver in the event that tire pressure falls below a certain level.
Though electing not to buy these sensors can save you between $250-$400 on our winter tire packages, you won’t have the benefit of their dashboard alerts, meaning you’ll have to monitor your tire pressure manually by examining your tires and measuring the pressure with a gauge. The downside is that you’ll have to be more vigilant and can’t afford to forget these crucial checks, so we advise you spring for the sensors even if you think you don’t need them.

FAQ About Tires
Q. When should I replace my tires?
Most tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 4/32″. We recommend having your tires inspected at least twice a year to ensure optimal safety and performance.
Q. How long do tires typically last?
Depending on your driving habits, road conditions, and tire maintenance, most tires last between 40,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Winter tires typically last 3-4 seasons with proper storage during warmer months.
Q. Why are winter tires important in Alberta?
Winter tires use special rubber compounds that remain flexible in cold temperatures, providing crucial traction when temperatures drop below 7°C. Their unique tread patterns are designed to grip snow and ice, significantly improving braking distance and handling in Medicine Hat’s winter conditions.
Q. Can I use all-season tires year-round in Medicine Hat?
While all-season tires can perform adequately in mild conditions, they are not ideal for Medicine Hat’s harsh winters. For optimal safety, we recommend dedicated winter tires for the cold season. All-weather tires (with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol) offer a compromise for drivers who prefer not to switch seasonally.
Q What is TPMS (tire pressure monitor systems) and should I get it for my tires?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Sensors are tire sensors that alert you if your tire pressure drops too low, helping prevent tire damage or accidents.
There are two types:
- Direct TPMS uses sensors inside the wheel to monitor pressure.
- Indirect TPMS uses your vehicle’s ABS sensors to detect changes in wheel speed caused by low pressure.
Q: Are TPMS sensors included in my winter tire quote?
Yes—if your vehicle uses direct sensors, our quote includes them automatically. But TPMS sensors are optional in Canada, so you can choose to remove them and save about $250–$400.
Q: What happens if I don’t install TPMS sensors?
Your dash warning light will likely stay on, and you’ll need to check tire pressure manually with a gauge.
