Driving conditions in Hamilton
The escarpment splits the weather: the mountain gets real snow while the lower city stays wet. Most Hamilton drivers we fit are running pickups, work vans and family SUVs, and they spend their kilometres on the Lincoln Alexander, Highway 403, QEW and the mountain accesses. This is real snowbelt territory. A dedicated winter set on a second rim package is the single biggest safety upgrade you can make.
