Winter Tire Changeover in New Glasgow

A seasonal changeover is a good chance to check tread, sidewalls and tire pressure before winter driving. Ask the shop to confirm the tires are installed in the correct positions and that the wheel nuts are tightened properly. Studded tires are legal in Nova Scotia from October 15 through April 30, which can help guide your seasonal planning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

Nova Scotia permits studded tires from October 15 through April 30. If you plan to use them, have the tires checked for condition and confirm that the set is suitable for your vehicle before installation.
A changeover generally involves removing one set and installing the other, then checking tire condition, pressure and wheel-nut tightness. Tell the shop if the tires are mounted on separate rims or if you have noticed vibration or uneven wear.
