I finally got around to getting winter tires. The stock michilens that came on the car were the worst tires I have ever had the dis-pleasure of driving on. I took my 17's off about 2 weeks ago, and put my stockers back on. Here is a link to the new Dunlop winter tires I put on.

They seem to grip the road really well, but as with all winter tires they are a little mushy and take some getting used to. I will update this post after the first snowfall and let you know how they preform.

Timming mods.
Ya, I did the same thing. Took my 17" rims off and installed some Cooper

Studded, Awesome. I wish I could stud my tires for the winter, but it is just not possible living in the GTA. 90$ a tire for Coopers isn't bad, I paid $120/tire for my Dunlops, they have a very aggresive tread, and they are supposed to last longer than my other choice which wast Nokian Hakkepelitta's, they were 140$/tire, (ouch) they are very mushy, but they grip so good.
