Same as you I'd never driven on winter tires before. Last week I bought some rims and winter tires. Since this is my first foray into winter tires I just got Goodyear Nordic tires from Canadian Tire (cheap with good reviews
LINK). They were on sale for my car at $91.50 a tire and each rim was $46.50 - total was under $700.00. I didn't get them put on the car, figured I'd do it myself when it snows - saved $60.00 plus tax.
Yesterday we were hit with a storm and I put them on in my garage. Took the VW Golf for a spin in about 10 cm of snow...all I can say is
WOW. The difference is outstanding. I passed two stuck cars on an incline without spinning at all.
The Golf is my wife's car so I have to spend this winter still driving the Crossover on All Season's
New Winter tires for me next year.
I am now a winter tire preacher!
