Manitoba just got 37 cm of snow over night.
Yay, glad to be in the big TO....<knock on wood> =P
I got the Michelin X-Ice at an unbeatable price. Although they have the wrong speed rating, that's ok; summer driving style in winter weather? Not likely.
Hope they're good.

looks like a great tire.....i prefer "snow and ice" tires over "performance winter" tires.....
Dunlop's Graspic DS-2 tires represent the 2nd generation of Dunlop Digi-tire Studless Ice and Snow winter tires designed to deliver traction for drivers who want enhanced control in snow and on ice. Graspic DS-2 tires are available to fit many vehicles including coupes, sedans and family vans.
This is Upstate, a performance winter tire ain't going to do chit in 2 feet of snow...

About the 2ft of snow with a performance winter. I beg to differ. I had no trouble with these M2's in deep snow.

Those DS2 looks good. I had blizzak before on my prelude so maybe i'd go with that. What about Pirelli? What size do I need?
Can anyone send me a pm to let me know how much and where you bought them? I want to compare prices and make sure i'm not getting ripped off. Is it somewhere around $800-900 w/steelies, mount, balance and tax?

It's VERY hard to find steelies for this car due to the offsets.
You need 55mm up front and 65mm out back or as close to as possible.
I would go with stock up front (205/55-16) and a 225/50-16 for the rear.
