As of October 1, British Columbia drivers must now have winter tires when travelling on most provincial highways. This seasonal rule is intended to reduce crashes, improve road safety, and ensure vehicles are equipped to handle the challenges of winter driving.
Why Winter Tires Make the Difference
B.C.’s varied terrain means drivers often move from mild rain in the city to snow and ice in the mountains in just a short trip. Winter tires are made for these conditions. With deeper tread and flexible rubber compounds, they provide superior grip in cold temperatures, giving drivers the control they need when conditions suddenly change.
Enforcement and Consequences
Highway signs are now posted to remind motorists of the requirement. Failing to use winter tires on these routes can result in fines. Beyond the legal side, being unprepared can put you and others at risk when roads turn slippery. Installing the right tires is a simple step that makes a big difference.
