We haven't had that much snow yet to really test them, so I cannot comment yet. But they do have a great rating from APA.

I originally considered Yokohama Geolander but they were all sold out by end of October as there was a rebate of $80 I could have applied for

I say use your 17" rims for winter & get a new set of 19" or 20" for the summer

Check out this site for ordering winter tires www.talontire.com
They only charge $9 shipping per tire & only charge 5% sales tax since they are in Quebec.
