Winter driving
When to switch to winter tires in Manitoba, how the MPI Winter Tire Program works, and what to check on a vehicle before the first cold morning.
Winter in Manitoba starts before the first snowfall. By October, temperatures in Winnipeg are already low enough to change how tires grip the road, and by November the average daily high is around freezing. The articles in this topic cover what changes when it gets cold and how to get a vehicle ready for it.
We explain when to put winter tires on, how winter, all-season and all-weather tires differ, how the Manitoba Public Insurance Winter Tire Program finances them, and what to check before the first cold morning, from the battery to the block heater.
