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?

I live in Canada and have never used specific tires for the winter. All-season with a 4WD. I drive to the conditions and am experienced and drive defensively. Never had one ice-related accident. I believe the science of rubber getting soft in the heat and hard in the cold, so winter tires make sense but for me I see it as an extra expense I just cannot afford.
