Advantages of Winter Tires

Winter tires have many advantages, including the ability to help keep you and your passengers safe on winter roads. These tires feature enhanced traction and grip, which can reduce the stopping distance when driving on icy roads. With unique tread patterns, deeper grooves, and specially-designed rubber material, these tires can stay flexible in cold temperatures, offering a more controlled drive.

When to Swap to Winter Tires

Winter tires should not be on your vehicle year-round. During the warmer months, it’s important to use all-season tires or summer tires, as winter tires don’t offer optimal performance during the warmer months. Switch to your winter tires when the temperatures start to drop in the fall, allowing you to be prepared before ice and snow accumulate. Switch the tires back with spring’s arrival.

Winter Tires are Mandated By Law in BC

In British Columbia, winter tires are mandatory on most highways. Routes are marked with signs informing drivers of the law, which is enforced between October 1st and April 30th. Drivers caught on these routes without the proper gear may be turned away and face a fine.
