In this tip, they discuss all-weather tires vs winter tires.

All Weather Tires vs Winter Tires

In Saskatchewan, where winter conditions can be severe, it is important to have tires that can provide optimal traction and handling on icy and snowy roads. While all-weather tires are designed to perform well in a variety of weather conditions, including winter, they may not offer the same level of performance as dedicated winter tires.

Winter tires, also known as snow tires, are specifically designed to excel in cold temperatures, icy roads, and snowy conditions. They have unique tread patterns and rubber compounds that remain flexible in low temperatures, providing better grip and traction. The deep grooves and sipes in winter tires help channel snow and slush away from the tire's contact patch, enhancing traction on slippery surfaces.

All-weather tires, on the other hand, are designed to be a compromise between all-season and winter tires. They offer better traction than all-season tires in winter conditions, but they are not as specialized as dedicated winter tires. All-weather tires have a tread pattern and rubber compound that perform well in a wide range of weather conditions, including light snow and ice. However, they may not provide the same level of grip and handling as winter tires in more severe winter conditions.

Living in Saskatchewan we frequently drive in snowy and icy conditions, so we highly recommend using winter tires during the winter months. They are specifically designed to provide the best traction and safety in harsh winter weather. Winter tires can greatly improve your vehicle's performance and handling on snow-covered roads, reducing the risk of accidents.

Ultimately, the choice between all-weather tires and winter tires depends on your specific driving needs and the severity of winter conditions in your area. If you frequently encounter heavy snowfall and icy roads, investing in a set of dedicated winter tires is the best option to ensure optimal safety and performance during the winter season.

Getting Your Outdoor Space Ready for Fall

Back to school. Leaves falling. Pumpkin picking. Fall is here and getting your outside space ready for the changing season should be a priority. Whether you’re wrapping up the outdoor season or settling in for a long fall, these tips will help you prepare your deck, porch, patio, or backyard for fall.

Deck Décor

Cooler nights call for warm lighting, fires, and cozy furniture. Decking your furniture out with big, fluffy pillows and blankets can help set the cozy tone in your backyard. While in the summer months, blankets likely aren’t needed, having a variety of indoor/outdoor blankets available for guests can be a great way to keep them warm and extend your evening. For an extra pop of fall colour, use reds, oranges and yellows in your pillow and blanket choices. Also, adding fall wreaths, pumpkins, mums, fall foliage or gourds can amp up your décor game.

An Element of Fire

Another great way to keep warm this fall is with a fire pit or table. Wheatland has several great options that will fit nearly any type of backyard setup. Stay cozy and warm with any of our options this fall. Have specific questions about how to take care of your fire table in the fall and winter? Contact Wheatland today!

Light It Up

Lighting is an inexpensive addition you can make to your backyard to make it feel warm, cozy and inviting. String lights put off the perfect amount of lighting to give a warm ambience to any setting. Candles are another great way to add warm lighting but try a flameless option to keep your yard and home safe.

Cover It Up

Buying a cover for your patio furniture, including your fire pit table, is a great way to protect it from wind, rain and the impending winter weather. Durable, weather-resistant covers will help protect your investment and keep snow, leaves and other elements out of your fire pit table.
