What we do
1
Seasonal changeovers
Winter tires on in the fall, summer or all-season tires back on in the spring.
2
Rotation
Moving tires between positions so they wear evenly. On a 4x4, even wear front to rear matters to the drivetrain.
3
Balancing
Wheels balanced so the steering wheel and seat stay smooth at highway speed.
4
Pressure and TPMS
Pressures set for the vehicle and load, and tire pressure sensors checked so the warning light stays off.
5
Tread and damage check
Tread depth, uneven wear, sidewall cuts and punctures checked at every swap.
6
New tires
Winter, all-season, all-terrain and LT truck tires ordered for your model and how you use it.

BC winter tire rules on Highway 16
Most BC highways, including Highway 16 through Terrace and Highway 37 toward Kitimat, require winter tires or chains from October 1 to April 30. On some coastal routes, including Highway 16 west of Terrace toward Prince Rupert, the requirement ends March 31.
A tire counts as a winter tire if it has the three-peak mountain and snowflake symbol, or the M+S mark, with at least 3.5 mm of tread. The mountain and snowflake tire is the one that grips in real cold, so that is what we recommend.
Tires on a truck or a Jeep
Load rating
A Ram 2500 or 3500 runs LT tires with a load range suited to what it hauls. Replacing them with a lighter passenger tire saves money and costs capacity. We match the load range to your truck.
Pressure for the load
A heavy-duty truck often needs different pressures empty and loaded. Check the placard on the door jamb, and adjust before you hitch up.
All-terrain tires in winter
Many all-terrain tires on Wranglers, Gladiators and Ram 1500s carry the mountain and snowflake symbol. Many do not. Check the sidewall before you assume your tires are winter-rated.
Four matching tires on a 4x4
A 4x4 or all-wheel-drive system expects all four tires to be the same size and close in wear. Mismatched tires make the drivetrain work against itself.
Winter, all-season, all-terrain and LT truck tires, ordered for your vehicle.
Why winter tires matter in the Skeena Valley
Below about 7 degrees Celsius, summer and all-season rubber hardens and loses grip. Winter tires stay soft and use their tread pattern to bite into snow and slush. In Terrace that covers months of the year, not just the snowy days.
Four-wheel drive helps you get going. It does not help you stop or turn. The tires do that, which is why a 4x4 on winter tires is safer than a 4x4 on all-seasons.

Tire service FAQs
When are winter tires required in Terrace?
On most BC highways, including Highway 16 through Terrace and Highway 37, winter tires or chains are required from October 1 to April 30. On some coastal routes, including Highway 16 west of Terrace, the requirement ends March 31.
What counts as a winter tire in BC?
A tire with the three-peak mountain and snowflake symbol or the M+S mark, with at least 3.5 mm of tread. The mountain and snowflake tire performs best in the cold.
When should I book my winter tire changeover?
Book in September or early October. Once the first snow reaches Highway 16, appointments fill quickly.
Do I need winter tires on a 4x4?
Yes. Four-wheel drive helps you accelerate, but it does not help you stop or steer. Winter tires do.
Can you order tires for my truck?
Yes. We order winter, all-season, all-terrain and LT truck tires sized and load-rated for your vehicle. Use our tire order form or call us.
Why is my tire pressure light on after a changeover?
Cold weather drops tire pressure, and winter wheels without working sensors will also trigger the light. We check pressures and sensors at every swap.
Do you service vehicles that were not bought at Terrace Chrysler?
Yes. We service every Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, wherever it was purchased.
When is the service department open?
Service and Parts are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and closed Saturday and Sunday. You can book online at any time or call 250-635-7187.
