If you haven't yet put your winter tires on your vehicle, now could be a perfect time. As we're under a Winter Storm Warning, driving conditions could quickly deteriorate over the next couple of days.
In a study done by Manitoba Public Insurance over the past 10 years, those who use winter tires on their vehicle are nearly seven percent less likely to get into an accident.
"There is certainly a benefit having winter tires, that statistics show that," said Brian Smiley with MPI.
If you don't have a set of winter tires, you can use the MPI Winter Tire Program to keep the costs down. The study included 111,000 vehicles over the past decade.
"Your best chance to not get into an accident is by getting winter tires, it's really as simple as that," ended Smiley.
