【2025】Winter is Coming: Get Your Winter Tires Changed Early and Save Money!

Before the full arrival of winter, the Japan Weather Association (tenki.jp) announced its “Winter Tire Preparation Front” on October 21, 2025. In northern Japan, some areas already require studless tires, and early preparation is being urged nationwide.

If you’re thinking, “It’s about time to switch to studless…” the smart choice is to get your tire change done early, before you’re caught scrambling by a sudden snow forecast.

Why is “Now” the Best (and Cheapest) Time?

Are you thinking, “It won’t snow just yet”? The truth is, the best time to change to studless tires is *before* the serious snowfall forecasts begin.

Preparing early, by early November, is the key to getting your winter setup done “cheaply and reliably.” Here’s why.

The 3 Big Benefits of Changing Early (By early November):

  • Guaranteed Appointments
    From late November to the end of December, appointment slots fill up fast, making it difficult to book your preferred date and time.
  • Cheaper Prices
    No need to worry about peak season labor surcharges! You can get your tires changed at the standard, cheaper rates.
  • Plenty of Stock
    You can choose the studless tires you want before they sell out.
