Driving conditions in North York
Dense city driving with steep ramps and unplowed residential streets after a storm. Most North York drivers we fit are running crossovers, luxury sedans and EVs, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 401, the Allen Road, Dufferin and Finch. 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; North York fitments vary widely across crossovers, luxury sedans and EVs.
- Budget for mounting, balancing, new valve stems and a four-wheel alignment on top of the tire price.
