Many Ontario drivers choose to purchase a second set of wheels for their winter tires.
Instead of removing and reinstalling the tires on the same wheels every season, a complete winter wheel and tire package can be installed as one unit. This can make seasonal changes quicker and reduce the amount of tire mounting work required.
Steel wheels are a popular option for winter applications because they are practical and generally cost less than many alloy wheel options. Some customers, however, prefer aftermarket alloy wheels because of their appearance.
For tire shops, offering both options can make it easier to build packages for different budgets.
It is also important to confirm wheel fitment before ordering. Bolt pattern, wheel diameter, width, offset, and clearance all need to work with the specific vehicle.
Shop owners can review the UAD Wheel Inventory when looking for available aftermarket or winter wheel options, and pair them with products from the UAD Tire Inventory.
For Ontario shops, planning these packages before winter can help avoid last-minute inventory problems.
