Summer: Stock OEMs for now
Winter: 205-55-16 Michelin X-i2
Pretty good so far, these tyres can handle the black ice quite well as I experienced this last Saturday on the Queensway. Controlled traction from a standing start while all the other cars were spinning their wheels.

still running OEM tires, but the car is not a winter driver,
I think we should ask who are running all season, might as well say summer tires...the only true all season tires are the Nokian WR and the Yokohama W DRIVE

I have Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero's 18" on original Speed rim. They have been great. I drove the day after the big storm mid Jan. There was like 10 inches of snow compact and at 70 kph it was fantastic. Seems they work better in heavy snow then lite snow.

I have the exact same setup as you. Got mine from Tire Rack. When I drove on them for the 1st time I noticed how much softer the ride became compared to stock summer tires. Helps to cushion the ride when driving on rough winter roads.

OEM Stock Toyos, brand new...doing it,and doing it welll....
The Toyo's are great in the summer/fall however I spun out with these on the 401 early in the winter. Switched to the Snowmarks (Same as the Nordics) and so far I think the tires are good, not great but for the price good. Anyone else have the Snowmarks from Allen?
