Put on my Winters
Forgive the crappy iPhone camera.
Tires are Michelin Xice Xi2. They are actually the quietest winter tires I've ever had. I took it on the highway yesterday and it sounded the same as my summers. The only way I could tell that they were on was the handling differences. So far, I'm happy with them. We'll see the first snowfall how they perform.

Re: Put on my Winters
Looks great!
Where did you get the wheels and tires? Is it 17" or 16"?
I was planning to get the wheel/tire set from Car Craze in Brampton. They have 17" RS4 replicas with Micheline Xice Xi2 for $1299 but I like your black rims more. What's the make of those?

Re: Put on my Winters
When I ordered it was $1,261.85 with shipping.
I had them shipped to a UPS store in Ogdensburg NY and picked them up. It's about 45 mins from Ottawa. Saved a lot of brokerage/UPS dumb fees.
In the end it cost me $1500 with HST. But I'm sure they will last me 5-6 seasons. I don't drive much in the winter. Just to-from work mostly.
