Driving conditions in Markham
Cold-start commuting and long 404 runs where rolling resistance shows up directly in fuel and range. Most Markham drivers we fit are running EVs, hybrids and luxury crossovers, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 404, 407, Highway 7 and Woodbine. City driving stays mostly plowed and salted, so a strong all-weather tire can work — but winter tires still stop shorter on ice.
- All-Terrain — a core strength of the General Tire range.
- Value — a core strength of the General Tire range.
- All-Season — a core strength of the General Tire range.
- Confirm load index and speed rating against your door-jamb placard before ordering; Markham fitments vary widely across EVs, hybrids and luxury crossovers.
- Budget for mounting, balancing, new valve stems and a four-wheel alignment on top of the tire price.
