k... i never thought i will need this... but now i need to abandon my car in the lot and take a bus home.... it is a nightmare to use Kuhmo Ecsta Supra on the snow... nvm they r summer tires.. i just never thought that there will be a snow like this in victoria... but anyway.... did a little search, found these tires in a acceptable price... they r :
1.Firestone Winterforce $129.99 CDN
2.Hankook Icebear W300 $129.99 CDN
3.Hankook W409 Winter i*Pike $115.99 CDN
4.Kumho KW17 $139.99 CDN
5.Kumho KW19 $135.99 CDN
6.Pirelli Winter Carving $159.99 CDN

ofcouse i know Pirelli is the best.... and i know there are better tires out there...
but the price tag is just too much for me.... and thsese are basically all i can find around here.. any other good winter tire with good price? and how was those tires above?

I've never used any of those (nor known anyone who has). For a bit more, find some Blizzak LM22's.

Also, check out the Snow Tire sticky up above.

Well im a local guy. Surrey for life heh. I have BFG traction t/a in 215/55/16. they are basically brand new maybe 90% tread left, i thought i would be fine in the winter. As you know we got about 1ft and a bit of snow. When we had about 4-5 inches the car would barely move. Maybe it was a lack of driving skill (this is my second winter). When i went out today, it is very hard to get traction. I actually am going out tomorrow to get snows its not worth risking it. -10 to -15 with snow makes for a dangerous combo in the morning.

I have heard very good stuff about Blizzack tire series. The michelin x-ice or lattitude x-ice are also good. Had those on the 240 before i sold it

i did check the sticky... but not too many reviews...
the point is the price tags are too high.... we cant get tires that cheap compare to US...

By the way did u guys used one called Continental Viking Contact 3?
cost only $129 CDN

I ride on 205-60/16 on my 2K2 during the winter, so yes, they will be fine. Good choice for size IMO.

anyway got the Continental Viking Contact 3 it rocks! plus well priced!
and it is a Canadian model so don't think they will be sell in the US.
