In Canada, light trucks are everywhere. Whether it's for work, weekend adventures, or everyday life, these powerful vehicles require tires that can keep up. And when it’s time to replace your tires—whether in the spring or fall—the choice can quickly become complex.
At Blackcircles.ca, we know that most drivers are looking for durable, safe tires that are suited for mild seasons without necessarily needing winter tires. That's why we've selected the best summer and all-season tires for you, perfect for driving from spring to fall. Some models are even winter approved (3PMSF), which means you can legally use them in Quebec starting December 1.
Here is our selection, model by model.
