October in Sudbury means one thing: winter is coming fast. And if you haven’t thought about your tires yet, now’s the time. At NFS Auto Repair, we’re already seeing an uptick in bookings from drivers looking to beat the first snow and avoid the rush. If you’ve been searching for winter tire storage or trying to find a reliable tire shop in Sudbury, here’s everything you need to know to prep your vehicle, and your peace of mind, for the months ahead.
Why Timing Matters for Winter Tire Installation
In Ontario, it’s recommended to switch to winter tires once the temperature consistently drops below 7°C, and that usually happens in October. Waiting too long can mean:
-
Longer wait times for installation appointments
-
Worn-out all-season tires compromising safety
-
Insurance headaches if you’re in a collision without winters on
Getting in early means you’ll be ready before the first frost—and not scrambling when everyone else is.

Do You Really Need Winter Tire Storage?
If your garage is already packed with summer gear, tools, and everything else, we get it. Tire storage isn’t just about saving space; it protects your tires from extreme temperature swings, sun damage, and premature wear.
Our seasonal tire storage includes:

Clean, dry, temperature-controlled storage
-
Easy access when it’s time to swap again
-
Peace of mind knowing your tires are safe and ready to go

How to Know if You Need New Winter Tires
If your tires have less than 5/32″ of tread, they may not offer enough traction on snow or ice. Not sure? We’ll measure tread depth, inspect for cracking or uneven wear, and let you know if it’s time for a replacement.
