I understand that winter tires are mandatory in Quebec. If I'm driving to Quebec (I live in Ontario) do I have to have snowtires on my car?

I visited the website for the Société de l¿assurance automobile (www.saaq.gouv.qc.ca) and found the following FAQ, Question 8 at:

www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca

Are vehicles from outside of Québec affected by this measure?

No, with the exception of certain rental vehicles. The legislative provision applies to vehicles (taxis and passenger vehicles) registered in Québec, as well as to passenger vehicles that are rented in Québec (regardless of where they are registered).

Thanks for the prompt help!

Happy holidays!

Thanks you too! Also thought you might be interested to know that some insurance companies offer drivers a discount on their auto insurance if they change their tires seasonally. If you change your tires as the seasons change you may want to ask your insurer if they offer this discount.
