Get There Safe with Winter Tires
Winter tires offer you the proper traction, stability and control on the inclement roadways of BC. Winter tires are made with a special rubber compound to remain flexible at low temperatures, allowing them to grip the road properly.
A proper tread pattern will also clear slow and slush from your contact path. Buying the right winter tires will ensure the safety and enjoyment of your ski getaway for you and your traveling companions.
