Thursday, December 29, 2011 Atlantic Canada Most Accepting of Winter Tires, Study Finds
 According to a new study commissioned by Ford Canada, Canadians in Atlantic Canada (76%) are more likely to install winter tires on their vehicles than any other province (not including provinces where installation is mandatory) while only less than half of Ontarians (44%) do - the lowest number when compared to the rest of the country.
The study also finds that overall, Canadians are confident, prepared and careful winter drivers. Nearly 80% of Canadians say they are at least somewhat confident in their ability to drive in snowy or icy conditions and more than 85% of Canadian drivers take extra precautions on the road by leaving extra space and decreasing their speed.
