Fam, I’m looking at new winter tires this season. What tires have served you well and you’re happy with?
Specifically asking Canadians their opinion as US winters pale in comparison to what we drive through.
Currently considering the Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak. I’ve had the Blizzak before but wondering if there’s better.

@[email protected] From 7+ years of driving Toronto -> Montreal -> Ottawa -> North Bay -> Toronto, I can tell you that any winter tire is going to be better than any all-season tire.
No matter what you end up buying, get an alignment done every 12-18 months or 15-20k kms to make sure they last! Bad alignment can burn through tires very quickly, especially on larger/heavier vehicles.
@[email protected] I’ve seen terrible alignments, but really we just need to be able to traverse the Rockies which anyone in “central Canada” (@[email protected]) has no experience in unless they’ve done it before.
I’ve done it many times, I’d be happy to do it on all-weather tires but my partner is demanding winter tires. But as they say, happy partner, happy life.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] used to use all weather tires - then got winter tires. Noticeably better control over icy roads. Partner is smart to demand them.
@[email protected] @[email protected] costco for tires Chad and FFS listen to Kendra 🙄
@[email protected] Winter tires. Driving with anything else through mountains in winter is foolish.
