Haida HD657 Winter Tire — SUV, Van & Light Truck

Haida HD657 Winter — built for the vehicles that carry weight

The HD657 is the load-carrying winter tire in the range. It is the only winter line we stock with an 8PR C-rated option, which is what a cargo van or a working light truck needs when it is loaded and the roads are bad.

Ten sizes from 16 to 20 inch, Q and T rated. Lower top speed than the passenger lines, and that is the point — the construction is doing a different job.

If a customer runs a van for work through an Edmonton winter, this is the tire. Arriving in the October container, installed in-house.

Questions we get asked

When should winter tires go on?
The rule of thumb in Alberta is seven degrees. Below that a summer or all-season compound starts to harden and lose grip, and that happens well before the first snow. Most people book the changeover through October.

How do I know what size I need?
Read it off the sidewall of the tire on your vehicle right now — it looks like 225/65R17. Match that exactly. If you are changing sizes, talk to us first; the wrong diameter throws out your speedometer.

Do you install and balance?
Yes, in-house at our Edmonton shop, including TPMS service. Tires bought here are mounted, balanced and torqued by us — book it when you order.

What does the number and letter after the size mean?
That is the load index and speed rating, for example 97T. The number is how much weight one tire can carry; the letter is its rated top speed. Both are listed on every size. If you tow, the load number is the one that matters.

Do I need four, or will two do?
Four. Two winter tires on one axle and two hardened all-seasons on the other gives you a car that grips at one end and not the other, which is worse than four of the same.
