I know personally more than a few RCMP. Their worst day is driving up and finding dead people.... they now have to contact the next of kin, as well they have to take it home in thier heads for the rest of thier lives.... all because someone didn’t follow the law/ rules.
Again I say... tires are cheap.
You don’t need “ winter tires” all you require are Mud & Snow ( M/S) to be safe, and legal on B.C. Hwys for the type of vehicle in question. My 2017 GMC 3500 came equipped with M/S from the dealer..... there are not hard to find.
I would hate to think for the rest of my life, because I was to cheap ( because that’s what it really comes down to) to have the correct tires on my rig, and that I caused a crash that someone got hurt or worse KILLED...
Tires are cheap...
