Driving conditions in Kitchener
Open farmland around the region means blowing snow and drifting long after the plows pass. Most Kitchener drivers we fit are running SUVs, pickups and commuter sedans, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 401, the Conestoga Parkway and Highway 7/8. This is real snowbelt territory. A dedicated winter set on a second rim package is the single biggest safety upgrade you can make.
