I'm a big believer in snow tires (putting some on tonight in fact). When I was researching tires for my sweetie last night I came across some article about how they are mandatory in Quebec now. The article had this though:
Quote:

"It's for safety," said Paul-Jean Charest, spokesman for the Transportation Ministry of Quebec. "It's proven that 38 percent of vehicles involved in accidents in Quebec in the winter do not have winter tires. For that reason, the government says it would be better to have a law stating that all vehicles in Quebec must have winter tires."

Makes you want to point out that 62% of winter accidents involve vehicles
with snow tires (vs only 38% without). I hate it when people misuse statistics.
