Public Advisory: Studded Tire Usage Begins November 1

Service NL would like to remind the public that studded tires may be used in the province as of Saturday, November 1. Studded tires are required to be removed by April 30, 2015, unless otherwise indicated by Service NL.

Motorists should remember to drive according to the weather conditions. Motorists can also better prepare their vehicles for winter by ensuring tires are in good condition, brakes, wipers and lights are in working order, and that all fluid levels including windshield wash, antifreeze and oil are checked.
