Alan, I also live in your area(Oakville), so need good snow tires. I have Yokohama S480`s, ther are very good. Recommendation came from John Mahler, who writes all those tire-tests in th e Wheel section of the To. Star. My summer tires are Dunlop D60 A2, they are great so far (1st year) Nick Deutsch 90 90 Q.20v.
