RESOURCE - Winter Tires

"Brace yourselves. What's ahead for most Canadian motorists is this: four months of snow and ice and spinning tires. Now is the time to choose the right tires to help you stick to those slippery roads. But which are the right tires?" All about winter tires as presented by CBC's Marketplace. After reading the many resources here you may not think the same way about using all season tires in the winter again.

Updated Information Needed

As informative as CBC Marketplace was, I noticed that the articles ranged in being written between 1998 and 2001. As technology continues to surprise itself and as new safety rules and regulations are continuously being re-written, We need some kind of ANNUAL report on the latest news on tires and rubber qualities and tread wear statistics and provincial rules and regulations. Regardless of updated information needed, I would still strongly recommend everyone to at least have a read of all the CBC Marketplace articles as the information they DO provide does indeed keep our mind at the issues at hand in our own region.

Is there any non-biased CANADIAN website that has up-to-date information on the tire industry? Possibly one that also has a downloadable PDF newsletter?
