The 2026 winter season is approaching, and Ontario tire shops can start preparing before customer demand reaches its peak.
A good winter preparation checklist should include popular tire sizes, winter wheels, commercial vehicle applications, delivery schedules, and supplier availability.
It is also a good time to review last year's sales data. If certain tire sizes consistently sold out during the winter, consider ordering those products earlier this year.
Customer vehicles should also be inspected before winter installation. Check tread depth, tire pressure, uneven wear, sidewall damage, and the overall condition of the tire.
