The Province of Nova Scotia is extending the deadline for drivers to remove their studded tires from their vehicles.

Normally, drivers would have had to have the tires changed by the end of April but the Service Nova Scotia Minister has moved that deadline until May 31st.

“Government recognizes that this year’s winter weather lasted longer, resulting in drivers leaving studded tires on their vehicles,” said Minister Mark Furey. “We are responding to the needs of Nova Scotia drivers. It also gives service centres sufficient time to complete tire removals, which are backlogged.”
