Quebec law mandates winter tires from December 1 to March 15. We offer rapid touchless tire mounting, dynamic computerized road-force balancing, and TPMS sensor programming.
Summer and all-season rubber compounds harden below 7°C (45°F), dramatically increasing braking distance. Winter tires utilize hydrophilic high-silica rubber formulations and 3D siping to bite into ice and slush.
Complies with Quebec Highway Safety Code requirements for 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified tires.
Leverless Italian mounting machines with non-marring nylon heads to protect expensive painted and forged alloy wheels.
Measures radial force variation under simulated road weight to eliminate highway vibrations above 100 km/h.
Touchless tire changer mounting low-profile tire onto alloy rim without rim contact.
Modern vehicles require active Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors in both seasonal wheel sets to avoid persistent dashboard warning lights and pass safety inspections.
Clones your summer sensor IDs onto winter sensors so your vehicle recognizes the wheels without dealer OBD reprogramming.
Testing internal TPMS radio frequency signal strength and battery health before mounting.
Installing rubber snap-in or anodized aluminum valve stems that resist Quebec road salt seizure.
Wireless TPMS programmer cloning sensor IDs for winter wheel swap.
We never use aggressive impact wrenches for final tightening. Every wheel is torqued by hand with calibrated torque wrenches.
Cleaning brake rotor and wheel mating faces to ensure 100% flush, vibration-free wheel seating.
Measuring remaining tread in 32nds of an inch and checking for alignment wear anomalies.
Ensuring directional V-grooves and outside/inside tire wall markings face correctly.
Torquing wheel fasteners to exact manufacturer ft-lbs in star patterns to prevent rotor warping.
Hand torquing lug nuts to exact OEM star pattern specifications.
Clear answers regarding auto collision, insurance claims, paint matching, and warranties in Quebec.
Under Quebec law, all passenger vehicles registered in Quebec must be equipped with winter tires bearing the 3PMSF pictogram from December 1 to March 15 inclusive.
The legal minimum in Quebec is 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm), but safety experts strongly recommend replacing winter tires when tread reaches 4/32 to 5/32 of an inch (4 mm to 4.8 mm) for adequate snow traction.
Yes. We carry universal programmable TPMS sensors that we clone to match your factory summer sensor IDs, eliminating the need to reset your vehicle's computer each season.
