Threat of Old Man Winter has Albertans scrambling for winter tires

As Albertans brace themselves for a visit from Old Man Winter, tire service shops are dealing with an influx of people in a panic to get their vehicles outfitted with winter tires. Simon Hendriks of Kal Tire South Mayor Magrath says the phones are ringing off the hook.

Hendriks says when it comes to city driving, most motorists opt for all-weathers as opposed to winter tires.
