How to choose wheels

Steel wheels are great for most weather conditions, but for winter driving they’re ideal, as they are road-salt and corrosion-resistant. The most cost-effective wheel option, steel wheels have a simple, industrial design. If you want your steel wheels to look more stylish, you can purchase wheel covers. These are inexpensive, and easy to install and remove. 

Shop all Wheel Covers. 

Alloy wheels are made of high-quality aluminum. Because this metal is easier to cast and work with, alloy wheels can be styled into a range of different looks to suit individual taste. 

All weather alloy wheels are designed for most weather conditions year round, including winter. They are fully painted and clear coated to make the aluminum more resistant to road salt.

Spring-summer alloy wheels feature exposed aluminum accents or chrome, in attractive designs that give your vehicle a unique look. Because of the exposed metal, however, we don’t recommend spring-summer alloy wheels for winter use.

If you want to change the look of your car -- or if you’ll be changing your tires seasonally -- you may want to buy a tires and wheels package from Canadian Tire. Having wheels on both your winter and all season tires will save you money every time you need to switch.
