Driving conditions in Toronto
Salted, plowed arterials and potholed side streets — grip matters less than sidewall durability and wet braking. Most Toronto drivers we fit are running sedans, compact crossovers and a growing share of EVs, and they spend their kilometres on the Gardiner, DVP, Lake Shore and the 401 collector lanes. City driving stays mostly plowed and salted, so a strong all-weather tire can work — but winter tires still stop shorter on ice.
- Value — a core strength of the Kumho range.
- Touring — a core strength of the Kumho range.
- All-Season — a core strength of the Kumho range.
- Confirm load index and speed rating against your door-jamb placard before ordering; Toronto fitments vary widely across sedans, compact crossovers and a growing share of EVs.
- Budget for mounting, balancing, new valve stems and a four-wheel alignment on top of the tire price.
