Non-compliant drivers can be fined between $200 and $300.
Most motorized vehicles must be equipped with winter tires between Dec. 1 and March 15. Non-compliant drivers can be fined between $200 and $300.
Some exceptions apply. For example, drivers of newly purchased vehicles have seven days to install winter tires.
Winter tires better grip the road in snowy, icy or cold conditions, the SAAQ says.
Vehicles can have studded tires and tire chains between Oct. 15 and May 1.
