The OPP is reminding you that despite the unusually warm fall weather, now’s the time to get your vehicle ready for the winter driving conditions.
Provincial police say winter tires perform best when the thermostat dips below 7 degrees.
They also help provide traction, handling and breaking on cold pavement, snow and ice.
The OPP says the number one cause of motor vehicle collisions during snowy conditions is speed.
They that means drivers should always drive according to road conditions by slowing down, increasing their following distances and allowing for extra travel time.
