【2025】Winter is Coming: Get Your Snow Tires ready before December 25!
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 snow tires, and early preparation is being urged nationwide.

If you’re thinking, “It’s about time to switch to snow (Studless) tire…” 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 Time for snow Tire?
Thinking, “It won’t snow just yet”?
Here is the truth: In Japan, the cue to change your tires isn’t snow—it’s 3°C. Even without snow, roads begin to freeze at this temperature. During morning and evening commutes or in the shade, wet-looking roads are often dangerous Black Ice. Summer tires lose all traction on these surfaces. Don’t wait for the snow. Switch early to stay safe.
The 3 Big Benefits of Preparing Early :
- Guaranteed Appointments
From late November to December 25, appointment slots fill up fast, making it difficult to book your preferred date and time. - Cheaper Prices
No need to worry about peak season installation surcharges! You can get your tires changed at the standard rates through out the year. - Plenty of Stock
No need to worry if your tire size sold out.
