Not yet, but as soon as I see a snowflake, "ITS ON"!!! I think the best tire out there is the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50. This thing is a like a bear claw. (a little sacrifice in the handling dept, however, but who cares!!) Im trying to save 'em as long as possible, cause they dont make them anymore.

Check em out. DON'T NEED NO Xi!!

I think that tread just punched me in the face hahhahh nice choice, see the west coast members do not understand... while were trying to do a pre-winter wax and finding the best ice scraper they are looking into sun tan lotion and tire shine products. jealous

Dude, you do know that winter tires are about the temperature - not just the snow itself, right?

Yes I do....Have we seen (-) temps yet? Well, maybe just this morning. However, the next few days will be quite warm. So until then, the all seasons stay on.

Its your car! I was just pointing out that most summer tires lose their properties and wear out excessively below ~50F

And yes, we have seen (-) temps, but mostly early mornings.

and if you get caught without M+S or LT or tires without the snowflake "rating" icon in the province, it's a nice $200-300 fine considering our megastrong dollar, it sucks any way you look at it


I've had my winter setup for a week now

only 1 small snowfall and a few cold, rainy nights
