I actually don't drive my car in the winter... lol, I don't even drive it in the rain... I only put about 4,500 kms on it this year and half of those were driving from Vancouver to Calgary and back in the summer... She is in storage now and probably won't see the day of light again until April or May. I do know Walmart sells an excellent tire which is highly recommended, may be worth a look... It's the Dunlop Gaspic DS-1 Winter/ICE tire. I will be putting these on my Honda this week.
