so, after 3 and a bit winters in canada i finally invested in a set of winter tires.
up till now i've had a good set of all-seasons (goodyear assurance tripletred) and they have been very good even coping with a sudden calgary freeze last winter that saw accordian buses sliding back down the hill we were on (scary!
) and general chaos on the roads.. but, driving on the deerfoot on solid polished sheets of black-ice in rush-hour traffic is not nice and you could feel the car getting more than a little vague at times.
Thanks Simon for your response. I don't think I will order rims I am not certain how many more winters I will be here, but this is extremely helpful information. I hope you enjoy your winter out west. We got 36" of snow in 72 hours here - lake-effect in the lee of Lake Huron. I need to get these put on but pronto.

Hi!
I am new to this community and I would like to ask Simon about his tire importing experience. I would love to order these from the same US supplier but I don't know how much to anticipate in taxes and duties on top of the shipping cost the website quoted.
What was your experience? Any info you can share would be immensely helpful.
Thank you!
LAFF
