Winter Tire Changeover in Kentville

Kentville’s snowfall normals total 263.0 cm a year, with January having the largest monthly normal. Winter tires on all four wheels help provide more balanced traction than fitting them only at one end. When arranging a changeover, ask whether the shop will check tire condition and pressure, and whether the wheels need balancing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

Yes. Nova Scotia’s driver handbook recommends snow or all-season tires on all four wheels for winter traction. Mixing winter tires with another type can leave grip uneven between the front and rear, especially when turning or braking.
Studded tires are legal in Nova Scotia from October 15 through April 30. If you use them, check the tires for wear and damage during the changeover, and confirm the shop can fit and balance your wheels as needed.
