Calgary tire warehouse and fleet distribution

While winter tires are not mandatory on municipal city streets in Calgary, Transport Canada strongly recommends them once temperatures consistently dip below 7°C (45°F). However, winter tires or chains carrying the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol are legally required on Alberta mountain highways such as Highway 93 (Icefields Parkway) and when entering British Columbia (Highway 1) between October 1 and April 30.

The 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol proves a tire has passed objective, industry-standard performance tests providing at least 110% of the traction of a standard reference tire on medium-packed snow. In contrast, an M+S (Mud and Snow) rating is based purely on tread geometry (at least 25% open tread pattern) with no mandatory cold-weather testing. True winter tires and all-weather tires carry the 3PMSF symbol to ensure rubber compound flexibility and grip in sub-zero temperatures.

Standard all-season tires harden when temperatures fall below 7°C, drastically increasing stopping distance on snow and ice. All-weather tires feature specialized cold-weather rubber compounds and aggressive tread siping, and they carry the official 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. You can drive them year-round in Calgary and through mountain passes without changing tires twice a year.

The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) mandates an environmental recycling fee on all eligible new tire sales in Alberta to support provincial recycling and stewardship programs. Certified pre-owned, used tires, and wheels/rims are exempt from the ARMA levy. You can view the live rate configured for your order in your cart and order summary.
