FCA Canada: All-New Mopar Winter Wheel Assemblies Deliver Additional Cold-Weather Control

  • Mopar winter wheel assemblies include winter tire, steel rim, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  • Assemblies delivered mounted, balanced, ready to install
December 4, 2015 , Windsor, Ontario -  Winter is coming — and just in time, so are all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies.

The all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies are available for order for a variety of FCA Canada vehicles. Assemblies include a winter tire, steel rim and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and are delivered mounted and balanced, so you or your dealership can quickly and easily pop off all-season rims and rubber and put on cold-weather appropriate gear.

“Mopar is rolling out our first-ever offering of winter wheel assemblies for those customers who desire a little extra control during the cold weather seasons,” said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA – Global. “The assemblies arrive ready to install and deliver additional peace of mind, even in areas unaffected by the harshest winter weather.”

Winter wheel assemblies are available for FCA Canada vehicles including the Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Charger (AWD and RWD), Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler 300 (AWD and RWD), Chrysler 200 and Jeep® Cherokee, with the program scheduled to expand to encompass even more vehicle models next year.

Mopar winter wheel assemblies will be priced around $285 per wheel; depending on the vehicle (dealer installation is separate). Customers can visit their local FCA Canada Inc. dealership for more information.

Why you need Mopar Winter Tires: The science of 7 degrees
At precisely 7° Celsius, the superior adhesion of winter tires begins to make a difference, regardless of road or weather conditions. With their specifically formulated rubber compounds, winter tires reduce vehicle stopping distances by up to 25 per cent – performance that can make the difference between a close call and calling for a tow. 

Mopar winter wheel assemblies are also a wise choice for FCA’s four- and all-wheel-drive models. With their aggressive tread patterns, they augment the additional traction and control these vehicles afford.

Popular brands of available Mopar winter tires include Bridgestone, Goodyear, Yokohama, Pirelli, BF Goodrich, Michelin and Continental and many more, with more than 1,100 winter tire fitments offered.
