I was wondering how everyone is doing with their choice of winter tires? I'm using the Revo's and they are awsome...............drove around all night in the snow storm here in Toronto and they are excellent tires. I would recommend these highly. How about the other types???? :ca:

I have absolutely no complaints yet about my x-ice, they've done the job so far. They definitely show their strength on ice but they do a much better job on snow than my MXV4s did prior to swapping them out. Still haven't had a chance to test them at higher speeds on the highway, I've been avoiding that at all costs but from what I've seen so far I'm more than confident they'll hold up well.

My P-Zero Nero M+S's are awesome... drove through 4+ inches of snow and could stop on a dime. Plus they handle better in dry conditions then the stock SS tires.

Dunlop Winter Sport M3s are treating me quite well. We got hit again by a fair amount of snow and ice here in west MI last night, and the car performed well. While people were sliding around corners and skidding through stop signs, I could drive as if there was nothing wrong with the roads - night and day difference from the stock P-Zero Rossos.

I Also have the Michline xice and they work great. I drive fast and sometimes forget there on when im on the highway. Braught them over 200 couple of time and they didnt twist of the rims yet.

I went with the cheaper winterforce tires, and to me, they are doing an excellent job! Good Grip and Good control. The grooves are massive!

Couldn't agree more and great dry traction on top of that, I love them!!!!!!

My Pirelli SnowSports are great. Excellent steering and braking response in the snow, almost feels like there is not snow under the tire.

On dry pavement they are quiet with reasonable steering and braking response. They are kinda funny under WOT acceleration. It's not torque steer, but the front end wonders back and forth a little due to the snow tread. Never gets scary but it feels weird.

My Dunlop Graspic DS-2's are awesome. I get the same thing... When I step on the gas the car wants to pull to the one side until I let off. I think it's because of the taller tread and sidewall

My winter tyres are the same as my summer tyres. =) Snow? What's that?
