When is the best time to switch to winter tires in the Edmonton area? Winter weather can vary every year, so we recommend watching your weather forecast for a week in advance to be prepared to make the switch.

Is it mandatory to use winter tires in Edmonton? 

In Alberta, it is not mandated by law that you use winter tires.
