❄️ What are tire fees, and why are they charged year-round?
The Ministry of Transport of Quebec mandates that all vehicles must be equipped with winter tires from December 1 to March 15.

📌 Why tire fees are charged year-round:

  • The fee helps defray the cost of maintaining two sets of tires (Summer and Winter) for each vehicle.

  • This includes the cost of:

    • Purchasing tires

    • Installation and balancing

    • Specialized equipment

    • Storage between seasons

📌 Stay safe in winter:
Winter tires ensure optimal safety during icy and snowy conditions.
