Driving conditions in Ajax
Exposed lakefront wind and slushy 401 commutes make wet and slush evacuation the priority. Most Ajax drivers we fit are running family SUVs, minivans and trucks, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 401, Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road. Lake-effect squalls arrive fast and localized. Winter tires from December through March are strongly recommended.
