Our winter roads are no joke. That’s why Manitoba Public Insurance wants to make it easier (and more affordable) to get the traction you need on icy roads.
With the Winter Tire Program, eligible Manitobans can finance up to $2,000 per vehicle at prime + 2% interest. Spread your payments over one to four years with convenient monthly withdrawals.
Who qualifies?
You may be eligible if you:
- Are a Manitoba Public Insurance customer (individual, not corporate)
- Own a passenger vehicle or light truck registered in your name
- Have no outstanding MPI payments or restrictions
