Good Idea to switch to winter tires. When are you putting them on the car?

Interesting, I bought the Nokian WR All Season Plus^2, an H-rated tire for severe winter service and 100,000km treadwear warranty, but that model doesn't show on that website you provided :huh:

This is the second winter I'll be driving the SVTf in the snow, last year I picked up some stock 16's and a set of Michelin X-Ice tires which are great in the snow but only decent on ice IMHO. I'm a little behind on the change over this year, and have still been running on the stock Continental Contisport tires in the snow for the last week. Not as bad as I thought they would be, but I still wouldn't want to go the whole winter on them. Let us know how you like the Nokians. A couple of the local auto scribes for the news paper absolutly rave about them in their write ups.
