Tires in Aurora,
Ontario
Aurora is a well-established town in upper York Region, sitting on Yonge Street north of Newmarket. With a mix of heritage downtown streets and newer subdivisions, Aurora residents deal with both the stop-and-go of Yonge Street traffic and highway conditions on the 404 and Leslie Street.
Driving in Aurora
Yonge Street and Leslie Street are Aurora's main commuting arteries. Both routes involve significant stop-and-go traffic toward Newmarket and Richmond Hill. Highway 404 provides fast access to Toronto for Aurora commuters.
Winter Tires in Aurora
Aurora sits in the northern reaches of York Region where winter conditions are consistently more severe than Toronto. Snow accumulation is higher and temperatures stay colder longer into spring — a full set of dedicated winter tires is strongly recommended.
Most Ontario insurers offer a 2–5% premium discount for running certified winter tires between October and April. Ask your broker for details after installation.

Tire Questions from Aurora Drivers
Is there a tire shop that delivers service to Aurora, Ontario?›
Prime Tread Auto Care serves Aurora and all York Region communities. Shop online and book your installation at primetread.ca/booking.
When should Aurora drivers switch to winter tires?›
Aurora's northern position means temperatures consistently fall below 7°C earlier than Toronto — usually early to mid-October. We recommend booking your winter tire swap by late September to secure a convenient time.
What do all-weather tires cost compared to buying two sets in Aurora?›
Quality all-weather tires (e.g. Michelin CrossClimate 2) typically run $250–$350 per tire — similar to a good winter tire. The advantage is you pay for one set instead of two, and skip the biannual swap fee. Trade-off: slightly less winter grip than dedicated winter tires.
Does Prime Tread offer seasonal tire storage for Aurora homeowners?›
Yes. Our $99/year seasonal storage plan stores your off-season tires on labelled racks at our shop. You book your swap day online and your tires are ready when you arrive.
Do you carry trailer or truck tires for Aurora residents?›
We carry light truck and SUV tires. For commercial trailer tires, contact us directly and we'll source a quote through our supplier network.
