Toyo Tires in Ottawa, ON | 3 DAY SALE BEGINS!

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

They’ve been setting up for a few hours now and the sale is already underway.  I dropped in and asked Aaron Brown, Director of Fixed Operations if he had any comments he’d like to add for today’s kickoff.  He had the following to say.

The warehouse is PACKED.  Every tire that Toyo makes is in there, in every size, and we’ve go bays open and ready in (the service center) so we can provide immediate install for the customers.  We’ve got a good selection of wheels and rims in stock as well, but that supply is obviously more limited, so the first day is always the best day to drop by if you’re looking for your optimal selection for a tire+rim package.”

When asked about what he expects to be the top seller this year?

Well, that’s gotta be the Toyo Extensa (see below for some specs on the Extensa).  Great tire, really popular and strong for the price point.  Also nice that we have them in both All-Season and High Performance versions, all of them in stock, and in all sizes.  Expect to see those flying out the doors for sure.”

Anything else, Aaron?

Keep an eye out for the giant Toyo tire, you should be able to see it from the highway!  We’re open until 8-9pm tonight, so drop by after work if you can’t make it in today during the day.”

Specs on the Toyo Extensa A/S (All-Season):

Tire Tips with Toyo Tires

Hydroplaning

3 things to know about HydroplaningTire Sale at 417 Nissan, Ottawa ON

  1. Vehicle Speed: The faster you go, the less wet traction your vehicle has.
  2. Water Depth: The deeper the water, the easier it is to lose traction
  3. Tire Tread Depth can be a major culprit in Hydroplaning accidents. The more worn out the tire is the easier it is to lose traction and control.
If you are driving in wet conditions make sure to check your tire tread. Always consider the speed of others around you in these conditions as well. If you are uncertain if your tires are up to standards to handle driving in wet conditions, you know where to go! 417 Nissan in Ottawa,ON has a brand new set of tires ready and waiting for you!

 

Ice & Snow Conditions

All-Season Tires provide higher snow traction than those tires that are not. However there are still a few things to keep in mind while driving in those snowy conditions.
  1. Always keep your distance. Toyo recommends at least 12 times more stopping distance on winter roads.
  2. Reduce your speed. Even if the roads look bare, black ice can be a silent killer.
  3. Make sure the tread is in good shape on your tires. The more worn the less grip provided.

Poor All-Season Tires or no AST’s at all can be extremely dangerous int eh winter conditions we experience here around Ottawa,ON. With the high amounts of freeze & thaw we experience here through our Autumn,Winter & Spring months, Make sure you are equipped with the right set of tires.

 

Tire Damage & Excessive WearTire Sale at 417 Nissan, Ottawa ON

Regular Tire Rotation, Balance, Alignment & Inspection’s should always take place during your service appointments. To insure your tires are getting their proper use. All these check-ups and happen at a regular service appointment. If your tires are looking a little worn, your service advisor will be happy to let you know & recommend something new & more efficient for you and your vehicle.  At 417 Nissan we have certified technicians ready to install your tires! Not having your tires installed properly can affect the life span and the quality you are getting from your tires.

  • Tire Rotation: To achieve more uniform wear for all tires on a vehicle.
  • Balance: Placed on your rim, these weights help the tire stay balanced at all speeds. Unbalanced tires can generate strong vibrations and create irregular tread-wear.
  • Alignment: Improper alignment can cause extreme irregular tread-wear to your tires. For maximum life your tire alignment is super crucial.
  • Inspection: This is when your technician checks to make sure your tires are in good shape for the road. And when Repair or Replace can come into play.

I wanted our first blog post to be about the new sites, but when this came across my desk, I had to list it ASAP – some of these savings are ridiculous.  For example, those Toyo S952s are discounted almost $250 – when every penny counts, and you need good-grip tires to keep yourself safe this winter, these sorts of savings are awesome to see, and you’re buying new tires here, with the full tread, the full warranty…  seemed like great news to me.  :)
