Summer Announcement
When MPI introduces a new low-cost loan program to make winter tires more affordable, Hawk Trucks will be your best choice for quality and selection.

Winter tires could soon be more affordable for Manitoba drivers.
Finance Minister Jennifer Howard announced in her budget back in March that Manitoba Public Insurance will soon introduce a low-cost loan program to make it easier for drivers to buy the high-traction tires.
In Winnipeg, winter tires are regarded as superior to regular tires when it comes to braking in snow and ice.
“We know winter tires can help reduce collisions on Manitoba roads and make families safer,” a government source said.
“But we also know the cost of winter tires prevents some from making this purchase.”
Details of the MPI program will be announced at a later date.
MPI says snow tires make vehicles safer by helping drivers to stop more quickly and avoid sliding on ice and snow.
Winter tires are made of soft compounds that remain flexible at lower temperatures, improving braking distance. They also have directional tread designs that help maintain traction on snowy, wet and slush-covered roads.
On average a set of winter tires costs about $1,000.
