Winter tires can reduce braking distance by up to 25 per cent or two car lengths, experts say.

Vehicles with winter tires make 6.3 per cent less claims than those without, according to MPI.

The cost of a minor fender bender right now is well over $5,000 , experts said.

CAA Manitoba says common sense is key to getting winter tires.

“Some people are very comfortable with what’s on their car and the traction they have, They drive to the conditions. Or, if it’s bad enough, they don’t (speed) up. Then there’s some who are just like, No. I’m scared. I had a close call and I need to make sure that I feel comfortable driving out there,'” he said. “So, it’s really a personal preference thing, but it makes a big, big difference,” Dibartolo said..
