Might still be considered “southern Ontario”, but I’m talking 3 hours north of Toronto.

Every time I go up skiing and the weather seems horrid, I’m doing something like 40-60 in an 80 or 90 because my 3pms all seasons make it feel dicey. Yet, I get passed all the time by people going around the speed limit.

What kind of tires you guys running?

Not Canadian, but have driven in winter-long icy conditions. There's a Finnish brand of tire - Nokian - that are the only brand I've found that actually work well in bad winter conditions. Deep snow or snow and ice.

Specifically their Haakapaliita (sp?) line of tires. Nothing I've driven performs in awful weather like them (Michelin can keep their X-ice garbage).

I imagine the folks up there may know of other high-winter-performance tires like them.
