Pros outweigh the cons.

My Michelin XI3s drove half way across the country in 20C to 30C mostly sun, with the occasional thunderstorm. Tread degradation was surprisingly minimal, but driving down the mountains was kind of sketchy in the storms as it felt like I was half way to hydroplaning the whole time.

Anyway, what I appreciated in the other provinces was a distinct lack of front licence plates on cars. My car looked so ugly in comparison with a holder and plate screwed into the front bumper. Come on Manitoba, if the other provinces can be rear licence plate only, so can you...

The front licence plate of the vehicle fell off due to the impact of the crash and was left at the scene.
