Snow tire suggestions, what brand to buy.

Quite correct Stuckeys
I have my Bridgestone Blizzaks on a set of steel wheels which I purchased from the dealer when I bought my car
I do that all the time...
They sell them at cost, or at a very low margin
PS..the reason that winter tires don't have any traction/temperature grade on them ( such as 620AB), is that they are not intended to be driven on warm surfaces, as they will degrade quite quickly, and become extremely unstable...

Il y a deux ans j'avais 4 Toyo GO2 plus sur mon Intrepid je les adorais, beaucoup de traction sur neige et glace. En décembre dernier j'ai acheté une Honda Fit 2009 et le concessionnaire avait un spécial sur les Michelin X-Ice I2 je les ai achetés après avoir lu des bonnes critiques sur le net, je les trouve très moyens comparés aux Toyo, moins de traction mais un roulement plus doux, comme un 4 saisons.
The garages are jam packed with people switching over to winter tires, I think it is a little too early, you will add unnecessary wear to the tires.
It snowed at my house last week. I switched to my winter wheels and tires before driving to Montreal. I've been caught in flurries on the interstate over half the time I've driven home from Montreal this time of year but I've never been snowed on here in Montreal at the end of October - it's warmer here than at home!
For those who run "all season" tires during the summer, it's probably too early to switch. My summer tires are dedicated summer tires that do very poorly on snow and not well at all on cold roads. They've also got an inch less sidewall than my winter tires, which are still pretty low-profile. For me this is the proper time of year to switch out.
I have my car jack, jack stands and electric torque wrench, I can do a 15 minute pit stop style change just as the first flake falls.
I've tried many brands over the years & from personal experience the Bridgestone Blizzaks are unbeatable. I also have never heard a single negative comment about them.
I have Bridgestone Blizzacs, they are good. They wear fast because the compound is soft. In warm weather you have to get them off fast.
You carry those in the trunk of your 2-seater sports car?
It started snowing early Monday morning while I was in Montreal, 400 kilometers from my home.
Would you be able to do a 15 minute pit stop under those conditions?
Put on Michelin Xice all year long.
Doin a lot of mileage and no time to f*ck around with 2nd set of tires to carry and or install.
This is a stupid law.
It doesn't stop as*holes from driving mad and stupid twits who always get in the ditch at the first snow with their Big motherf*cker gas guzzling pickups.
or the dimwits driving way too fast for their run down small and shitty nippon cars wearing their baseball cap backwards who thinks they can impress my classy but extreme fast car.
