Albertans know winter tires are important, poll shows only 56% use them

The survey, conducted by Leger for the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC), found that just 56 per cent of Alberta drivers use them, slightly below the national average of 63 per cent.

More Alberta drivers are using winter tires than those in Manitoba (54 per cent), but 74 per cent of drivers in Atlantic Canada have them installed.

Many of the same factors – cost, different driving habits and belief that all-seasons are "good enough" – were prominent in this year's report, but TRAC says more drivers nationwide are using them.
