Yup - definitely mandatory to have winter tires in Quebec and I wouldn't dream of going any other way. Anyone living in Quebec knows it's a must - especially given the crazy amount of snow we've had this year. I was up in Quebec city with my buddy last weekend in his 540 with 3 year old winters and we got stuck 3 times in the ski hill parking lot (after a big snow fall). The problem was slightly older tires (his lease is up and he didn't want to get new tires) but also, and this is definitely going to be a problem with the 135, clearance. The 135 is low to the ground and that's a problem when there is 6" of fresh snow on the ground. That said, I'm still getting my 135 and will stay home when the snow is piled high....
