Unless snow tires are mandated provincially I doubt that auto rental companies
will provide them other than for an exorbitant charge if at all.
They are not required in Nova Scotia or Ontario. I think that Quebec is the
only province requiring four snow tires for several winter months.
Driving an auto in Canada in snow conditions without four snow tires [or
studded tires] is completely insane !
