Starting Oct. 1, ensure your vehicle is winter-ready.
It is that time of year again, folks! Tire shops are busy with the buzz of drivers who waited until the last minute to put on winter tires.Winter tires or chains are required on the Sea to Sky Highway from Oct. 1 through March 31. “Driving for work or pleasure can be dangerous, no matter how much experience you have,” said Trace Acres, program director for Road Safety at Work and spokesperson for the 15th annual Shift Into Winter campaign, in a news release.
Winter tires are essential because they provide better traction and stopping distances when temperatures drop below 7 C. Tires displaying the three-peaked mountain/snowflake symbol and M+S tires meet the legal requirement as long as they have at least 3.5 mm of tread. Winter tires outperform M+S tires in cold and snowy conditions, the release states.
Routes like Highway 99 from Vancouver through Whistler and Pemberton see winter conditions early in the season and, being mountain passes, temperatures and weather can change quickly.
