At 4Tires.ca, we offer a selection of factory-studded winter tires as well as studdable winter tires from leading tire manufacturers.
Factory-studded tires come with studs already installed by the manufacturer and are ready to use as soon as they are mounted on the vehicle. Studdable tires are designed to receive studs and allow stud installation to be added directly during checkout for eligible models.

An option designed for drivers exposed to ice, rural roads and more severe winter conditions.
Studded winter tires are especially suited to roads where ice remains long after a storm. They can provide an advantage in mountainous areas, steep driveways, frozen gravel roads, secondary roads and areas that are not cleared as quickly.
Before buying studded tires, also consider road noise, comfort, vehicle type, annual mileage and the roads you use. A factory-studded tire maximizes simplicity, while a studdable tire offers more flexibility at purchase.
When ordering, always check the recommended tire size for your vehicle and choose a model suited to your actual driving. At 4Tires.ca, studded winter tires and studdable winter tires are available in several sizes for cars, SUVs and pickup trucks.
