They are legal in Manitoba from October 15 to April 15 only. That period becomes flexible in case of an early winter, or late spring. The reason that they are illegal in the summer, and banned in Ontario, has nothing to do with less braking power. The fact is that they damage the roads when the asphalt is hot. I live in Manitoba and install them on my old F150 every fall and remove them every spring. That, along with 2 sand bags in the back corners of the box, have prevented me from getting stuck in all road conditions.

Depends on he Province: Ontario only in the winter and at one time they outlawed them because they are unsafe on dry road, they act like iceskates when breaking.. My cousin was killed in a car accident due to the studded tires going over a dry bridge deck.
Other Provinces..not sure, except for Alberta ..in winter they are legal
B.C. nobody cares, because we never have any real snow here, so most people don't buy them.. but they are legal in BC
Hope that helps.
