Rolling out campaign promises with winter tire tax credit

Buying winter tires could save you money should the Progressive Conservatives win the upcoming provincial election.

That announcement today (Monday) from Incumbent PC candidate Vic Fedeli.

“A $500 tax credit is going to be the incentive to get families to purchase winter tires and make it a far safer place for themselves and for others out on the road,” he says.

Fedeli says a vehicle with proper winter tires can stop 25% faster on snow and ice than a vehicle without winter tires.

He also welcomes the fact the province recently created a mandatory insurance rate discount for drivers who purchase winter tires.

While at the Gold Fleet Subaru North Bay dealership, Fedeli said to expect more announcements like this.

Pointing to a vehicle-related example he says life in Ontario has become unaffordable with the Liberals.

“In the last four years vehicle registration and licences brought $503-million in increased fees to the province of Ontario,” he says.

Voters in Ontario head to the polls in June.
