Subaru Forester Winter Wheel & Tires Package

Winter driving across Guelph, Ontario, calls for gear built specifically for the season, and the Subaru Forester winter wheel and tires package meets that need directly. At Pfaff Subaru, this package pairs trusted winter tires with genuine wheels engineered around the Forester, giving drivers a straightforward way to gear up before the first snowfall.

Subaru Forester Winter Tires Built for Traction

Cold pavement, packed snow, and black ice each call for a different kind of grip, and this package brings tire options built with that variety in mind.

Michelin X-Ice: engineered tread compounds that stay flexible in low temperatures for consistent grip
Bridgestone Blizzak: multi-cell compound technology designed to channel away surface moisture on icy roads
Yokohama Iceguard G075: silica-enhanced rubber built to soften in cold weather while resisting wear

Each tire brings a distinct approach to winter grip, so drivers can select the set that matches how and where they travel most through the colder months.

Genuine Wheels Matched to Your Subaru Forester

Selecting the right wheel matters just as much as selecting the right tire. Subaru engineers developed the genuine wheel options in this package alongside the vehicle itself, matching fitment and performance specifications from day one.

Steel wheels: heavier construction adds stability on snow and ice, plus resistance to curb damage during winter parking season

Alloy wheels: lighter weight helps support efficient fuel use and preserves the Forester's factory look through the season

Either option keeps the Forester planted through winter's toughest stretches, giving drivers a wheel built around the vehicle's own engineering rather than a generic aftermarket fit.

How the Subaru Forester Performs in the Winter

The Subaru Forester winter tires pair naturally with the Forester's built-in cold-weather technology, creating a setup engineered for the season from the ground up.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive sends power to all four wheels continuously, adjusting for traction on snow and ice
Heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, and wiper de-icers add comfort during frigid mornings
Remote engine start, available through a smartphone subscription service, warms the cabin ahead of the drive
EyeSight Driver Assist technology supports adaptive cruise control and pre-collision braking during reduced-visibility conditions

Together, these features round out a Forester equipped to handle Canadian winters, tires and wheels included, front to back.

FAQs

Does installing winter tires affect auto insurance premiums?

Many CAA Auto Insurance policyholders qualify for a five percent premium reduction once four winter tires get installed on their Subaru, an incentive built to reward drivers who prioritize safety ahead of the season.

How do winter tire tread patterns improve traction?

Winter tires rely on specialized tread patterns and small slits called sipes, which grip snow and ice while clearing built-up snow from the tread. The design also channels water away from the tire surface, cutting down on hydroplaning risk during wet conditions.

How should a vehicle get prepared for winter driving in Canada?

A pre-winter inspection, a fuel tank kept at least half full, an ice scraper stored in the cabin, and washer fluid rated to -40°C all help drivers stay ready for the season. Regular tire pressure checks and visual inspections for wear round out a solid winter prep routine.*
