Many areas of the province have experienced their first snowfall of the year, and that has a lot of people looking to get their winter tires on.

The west coast was hit with a wintry blast earlier this week, and the metro region woke up to a blanket of snow this morning.

Amanda Mulrooney, who is part of the crew at Mr. Lube + Tires in St. John’s, says it is important for people to keep an eye on the weather forecast, and to get their tires on sooner rather than later.

Mulrooney has some advice for people before they show up.

She says people should make sure that the tires they bring in actually fit their car, and to make sure they are in good working order.
