Pirelli P6 all-seasons, 205/50R16 on 16 x 6.5 rims
Bought the car last April with 14,712km on the clock. Amazing tires in the wet & dry. Traction is first rate in those conditions (Hitting Rouge Valley Rd. in Scarborough is a joy on those things, grip, grip and more grip)
However, unplowed snow is not these tires forte. First time I found that out was after our first big storm in the GTA last December. Approximately 10cm worth of unplowed snow gave these tires fits, leaving me almost stranded several times as the traction control refused to acknowledge that the tires had any grip whatsoever.
Plowed snow/ice no issue, but in summary unless your roads are always plowed after a snowfall, consider dedicated winter rubber.
