the biggest issue with mandatory winter tires is that Canadian's by and large have no money any more thanks to the sky high cost of living in this province/country.
There is an affordability crisis of everything right now, people don't have an extra $1200 lying around if they were forced upon drivers.
I get the benefits, I get the fact that the summer ones will last twice as long etc.
it's the mandatory up front cost that is the problem. People can barely afford to eat right now, let alone buy winter tires.
and the carbon tax is going up again in April..
