As Dufferin County prepares to endure another winter of icy roads and unpredictable snowstorms, the importance of road safety cannot be overstated. With rapidly changing weather conditions, Canadian winters bring a host of challenges to drivers. These treacherous conditions contribute to nearly 30 percent of collisions, turning routine drives into dangerous experiences, according to Transport Canada. This is why winter tires are highly-recommended. As reported by Consumer Reports, winter tires have proven to stop an average of 6 feet (25%) quicker than all-season tires on ice. This improved stopping distance can make a critical difference in preventing collisions, particularly in regions like Dufferin that are prone to severe winter weather.
