do they speak english in canada?
anyway..... i'm going with continental extreme sport contacts on my 18" for the winter. they are all season ultimate performance usable in light snow. that's one of only 2 choices i found. i don't want a straigh snow tire.

if you don't have brembos... get 16s :P

that's what i did ... for the price of 18" winter tires you can get 16" alloy rims + tires... they don't look great but it's better than steelies IMO

i'm running 16" 215/60/16s all around.. VDC triggers sooner than normal if you hammer the gas but for normal driving, it's fine... in fact i keep vdc on just to keep me from overaccelerating in the snow (safety measure)... 215/60/16 has roughly the same overall diameter as 275/30/19 which some ppl on this forum run on their rears for the summer
