Saturday morning, the same day that drivers are required to use snow tires when driving on certain B.C. Many highways in the province require passenger vehicles to be equipped with winter tires between Oct. 1 and March 31. "Make sure you are using winter tires that are in good condition, with solid treads, and adjusting your speed to match road and weather conditions." Mud and snow tires, marked with an M+S symbol, also qualify as winter tires, though the ministry notes they are less effective than dedicated alpine snow tires. Interior and northern regions require winter tires in winter months.
