Some "all season" tires are good enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them.
That's one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added the topic of tires to a provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits.
"It's been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years," Stone said Tuesday.
With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehicles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements that took effect Oct.
