Jeff Belzer’s tire service preparing a vehicle for Minnesota winter driving

Minnesota’s first snow has a way of arriving before many drivers are ready. One day, the roads are dry and the fall colors are at their peak. The next, your morning commute includes slush, freezing temperatures, or an unexpectedly slick intersection.

That makes early fall a smart time to inspect your tires and replace them if needed. For a limited time, Jeff Belzer’s is offering an opportunity to prepare: buy three qualifying tires and get the fourth for $1 at participating Jeff Belzer’s locations. The promotion runs through September 30, 2026, with eligibility and terms varying by manufacturer and location.

Whether you need dependable all-season tires or added winter capability, our service teams can help you choose tires that fit your vehicle and the way you drive.

Quick answer: The Buy 3 Tires, Get 1 for $1 promotion is available on select qualifying tires at participating Jeff Belzer’s Stellantis and Ford service locations through September 30, 2026. Ford participation begins September 15. Eligibility, exclusions, installation charges, and other terms vary by manufacturer and location.

Why Do Quality Tires Matter During a Minnesota Winter?

Your tires are the only parts of your vehicle that make direct contact with the road. Their condition affects how your vehicle accelerates, steers, and stops—especially when Minnesota roads are covered by rain, slush, packed snow, or ice.

Quality tires cannot eliminate the risks of winter driving, but the right set can help your vehicle maintain more predictable traction in challenging conditions.

Good winter-ready tires help with:

  • Moving through snow and slush
  • Maintaining traction during acceleration
  • Steering on cold or slippery pavement
  • Moving water and slush away from the tread
  • Providing more predictable braking performance
  • Supporting vehicle stability and driver-assistance systems

Tread becomes especially important in wet and wintry conditions. Tire grooves must have enough depth to move water, snow, and slush away from the contact area. As tread wears, a tire may have less ability to perform that job effectively.

Even with the right tires, Minnesota drivers should reduce speed, increase following distance, turn off cruise control, and adjust their driving to current road conditions.

What Is the Difference Between All-Season, All-Weather, and Winter Tires?

The right tire depends on your vehicle, travel habits, and how often you expect to drive during severe weather.

All-season tires

All-season tires are designed to balance performance across a broad range of everyday conditions. They may be a practical option for drivers who:

  • Primarily travel on frequently plowed roads
  • Can avoid driving during major winter storms
  • Want one set of tires for year-round use
  • Need balanced wet, dry, and light-snow performance

“All-season” does not mean every all-season tire provides the same level of snow or ice traction. Designs and performance characteristics vary.

All-weather tires

All-weather tires are intended for year-round use while providing greater winter capability than many conventional all-season tires. Some carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, which indicates that the tire meets an industry standard for acceleration traction in medium-packed snow.

All-weather tires may be worth considering if you want one set for the entire year, stronger winter capability than a typical all-season tire, and fewer seasonal changeovers. The symbol does not guarantee traction in every condition, and it is not a substitute for cautious driving.

Dedicated winter tires

Winter tires are designed specifically for cold temperatures, snow, and ice. Their rubber compounds and tread patterns are engineered to prioritize winter grip.

They may be a strong choice for drivers who:

  • Commute before roads are fully plowed
  • Regularly drive on rural or secondary roads
  • Travel during snowstorms
  • Encounter hills, packed snow, or frequent icy conditions
  • Want maximum winter-focused performance

Winter tires are meant to be used seasonally. A second set of wheels may make seasonal changeovers more convenient, but the appropriate setup depends on the vehicle.

How Do You Choose the Right Tires for Minnesota Driving?

There is no single tire that is right for every Minnesota driver. Consider the following factors before making a decision.

Tire inspection and selection for Minnesota winter driving

1. Start with the manufacturer’s specifications

Check the tire-information placard inside the driver’s door or consult the owner’s manual. It identifies the original tire size and recommended cold tire pressure.

Replacement tires should match the original specifications or another size and configuration approved for the vehicle. Tire size, load capacity, speed rating, and drivetrain requirements can all affect fitment.

2. Think about where and when you drive

A driver who mainly travels on plowed Twin Cities highways has different needs than someone with an early-morning commute on rural roads.

  • Are your usual roads plowed quickly?
  • Can you avoid travel during major storms?
  • Do you frequently drive before sunrise?
  • Do you travel outside the Twin Cities?
  • Do you regularly encounter hills or unpaved roads?
  • Do you tow, haul, or carry heavy loads?

Your answers can help a service advisor recommend an appropriate tire category.

3. Compare more than the purchase price

A tire’s overall value includes more than its upfront cost. Consider expected tread life, snow and wet-road performance, ride comfort, road noise, warranty coverage, seasonal changeover needs, and the vehicle’s typical use.

The least expensive tire is not automatically the most practical choice, and the most winter-focused tire is not necessary for every driver.

4. Look for meaningful winter markings

The letters M+S, meaning mud and snow, appear on many all-season tires. The Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol identifies tires that meet a defined snow-traction performance standard.

A service advisor can explain what those markings mean and help you compare tires without relying on marketing labels alone.

5. Avoid mixing incompatible tires

Installing tires with substantially different tread patterns, seasonal designs, or levels of wear may affect handling. This can be especially important on all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Have the full set inspected before replacing only one or two tires. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for tire replacement and placement.

How Can You Tell If Your Tires Are Ready for Winter?

A visual inspection is a helpful starting point, but it cannot reveal every tire issue. Schedule an inspection if you notice:

  • Low or uneven tread
  • Cracks, cuts, punctures, or bulges
  • Repeated loss of tire pressure
  • Vibration at highway speeds
  • Pulling or unusual steering behavior
  • Uneven wear along the inner or outer tread
  • Tires approaching the manufacturer’s age or service-life guidance

Uneven wear may also point to an alignment, suspension, inflation, or rotation issue. Correcting the underlying cause can help protect a new set of tires.

Check tire pressure as temperatures fall

Cold weather can reduce tire pressure. Check each tire when it is cold and inflate it to the pressure listed on the vehicle’s placard.

Do not use the maximum pressure printed on the tire’s sidewall as the normal target unless it matches the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.

A tire-pressure monitoring warning should not be ignored. The system is an important alert, but drivers should still check pressure manually throughout the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the Buy 3 Tires, Get 1 for $1 promotion end?

The promotion ends September 30, 2026. The Stellantis offer runs September 1–30, while Ford participation begins September 15. Program terms and qualifying tires vary.

Does the $1 tire promotion apply to every tire?

No. The offer applies to select qualifying tires at participating locations. Tire brands, types, applications, and other products may be excluded. Contact a service advisor to confirm eligibility before purchasing.

Is installation included in the $1 tire offer?

No. For the Ford offer, mounting, balancing, and taxes are not included. Charges and inclusions under other programs may vary. Ask for a complete estimate covering installation, taxes, disposal charges, and other applicable fees.

Are winter tires necessary in Minnesota?

Minnesota does not require every driver to use dedicated winter tires. The best choice depends on your vehicle, typical roads, schedule, and comfort driving in severe weather. Dedicated winter tires generally prioritize performance in cold, snowy, and icy conditions.

Are all-weather tires the same as all-season tires?

No. Both are intended for year-round use, but all-weather tires generally place a greater emphasis on winter capability. Many—but not necessarily all—all-weather tires carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol.

Does all-wheel drive eliminate the need for winter-ready tires?

No. All-wheel drive may help distribute power during acceleration, but every vehicle still relies on its tires for steering and braking. Tire condition and driving technique remain important.

How often should tire pressure be checked during winter?

Check tire pressure regularly and whenever there is a significant temperature change. Measure pressure when the tires are cold and use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended setting.

Can I combine the promotion with another tire guarantee or rebate?

Combination rules differ by program. The Stellantis Buy 3, Get the 4th for $1 promotion cannot be combined with its Tire Price Match Guarantee. The Ford offer cannot be combined with the Low Price Tire Guarantee.
