Winter is coming—time to switch to winter tires

Sep 28, 2019 | 9:56 AM

With snow expected in Saskatchewan this weekend along with cooler temperatures, it’s a good time to switch over.

At Market Tire on 8th Street in Saskatoon Colton Ritchot said it’s been busy.

“Friday was the busiest day so far this fall,” said Ritchot. “We had at least eleven people waiting in line and overall close to thirty.”

Ritchot told 650 CKOM he sees more people investing in winter tires.

“If not just for our Saskatchewan winters,” he said. “Trying to get through B.C. over the wintertime they (winter tires) are actually required in B.C.”
