Studded tires are NOT needed in Quebec...unless you live in Chibougameau...or you cross a river/lake to go home....and I would suggest a ski-doo if that's the case!

The only thing studs do is destroy the asphalt and give you longer braking distance if you're not on pure ice...and even then!

BTW, while an non-winter tire Ontario-plated car can drive in Quebec without getting fines, a studded tire Quebec-plated car cannot...studded tires are not allowed in Ontario, no matter where the car is plated.

However, like Sparky said, the OPP don't have time to inspect for studded tires thus not many people get caught.

The reason I use studded I am in the country allot in the winter past Gracefield or Fournier , Chrysler , Eganville.
Cottage is there and hunting season I really need studded for the mud I go through.
Also do allot of ice fishing.
If my car would have been 4x4 would be better but could not see the extra cost of gas and maintenance.
So for me I do need it.
If it was once in a blue I would not.
But for me I am out hunting every weekend and have 2 weeks in November off and 2 weeks in December off for hunting.
The roads I drive are not cleared of snow or very muddy so every little bit helps.


Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
