Driving conditions in Vaughan
Open, wind-swept subdivisions north of Steeles drift over fast and stay snow-covered longer than downtown. Most Vaughan drivers we fit are running large SUVs, pickups and performance sedans, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 400, 407, Major Mackenzie and Rutherford. This is real snowbelt territory. A dedicated winter set on a second rim package is the single biggest safety upgrade you can make.
