ontario should mandate winter tires like quebec does

so for students and low wage workers who can't afford winter tires and are not on a bus route should pay over $500 twice more or quit?

I've seen how that scenario works out...
States bordering Ontario and other parts of Canada don't mandate winter tires and alot of them have worse winters

It's a one time fee for winter tires and change over is like 50 a year

Everytime I drive in the winter and see a accident majority of the time the person driving has on all seasons

It should be mandatory. Drivers are trash here.

Snow tires are worse in the rain than all season tires. They're great in the snow, but when it's just rain it's usless, furthermore they wear out fast and you can't predict the weather.
Some winters get little or no snow. Should remain optional

false, maybe for cheap ass snow tires. Medium to Top of the line snow tires are excellent in rain, freezing rain and snow.

Snow tires don't wear out fast, most snow tires last 5-7 years.

Therse a reason why insurance companies give you a 15% deduction on your insurance rate with snow tires.

I was out driving today with my snow tires and no issue, i saw folks in all season skidding and sliding

Even if it's top of the l ine snow tires, all seasons are better in the rain on the avg. Snow tires are designed for SNOW which is more solid and slick, not the rain. Rain is more liquid so it will not wick as well with snow tires as with all season.

Well if you only have them on 3 months out of hte year then yeah they last, but they still wear out fast. Keep them on most of the year and see what happens.

My original point was that they should NOT be mandated because alot of people(like students) can not afford to purchase $500 to over 1K tires just to have on temporarily.
It should remain an OPTION
