Attention BC drivers! 🚗❄️ Winter conditions have arrived.

Before you head out on your next road trip, remember that most BC highways require winter tires from October 1 to April 30. This rule is in place to keep everyone safe on our beautiful, yet challenging, roads.

Here's what you need to know for safe winter driving:

✅ Check Your Tires: Ensure your tires have either the 3-peaked mountain/snowflake symbol or the M+S (Mud and Snow) symbol. These are mandatory on most major routes.
✅ Why They Matter: Winter tires are specifically designed for the cold, providing better grip and shorter stopping distances on wet, snowy, or icy roads.
✅ Tread Depth: Your tires must have at least 3.5 mm of tread depth for effective performance.
✅ Stay Alert: Watch for highway signs indicating when and where winter tires are required.

Remember, safe winter driving is about more than just tires. Plan your route, check conditions before you leave, and always give yourself extra time.
