Tires for the roads up here.
A lot of driving in the north is long highway stretches, gravel and resource roads, and winter that starts early. BC requires winter tires or chains on most highways from October 1 to April 30.
That is why the shop stocks deep in winter, all-weather and all-terrain tires, including the larger truck sizes.
