I second the Nokia. They are the best snow tire I've ever owned. With AWD it makes the car a bullet, just point and shoot. Only down side is the speed rating...

Hahaha....
V speed rating for a winter tyre? You must be mad or absolutely suicidal to exploilt that speed rating...in winter.....
For an AWDer, atually any winter tyre is better than any all seasons. I just get the cheapest set..usually from Crappy if they are on sale.
300hp Talon to a 50hp Citroen. Lovely ain't it? Back to another Mits. A Mirage Cyborg as a future 4G63T candidate.

I had some of the WalMart winter tires on my old cavalier, they worked good, they were cheap and are made by goodyear.
1990 TSi AWD - Parked since I bought it (Jan24/03) Had it out one day, and busted the trans.

I run the high performance Blizzak LM-22 (205/50/17), not LM-50. Half of the time highway are cleared, and winter tire are on in november, but we may see some real snow just at the end of december, same for spring... better have more speed rating for safety...in case... I don't think there is any cons to runs that, just advantage... But I agree, on snowing day, play safe!

Unless you are looking for highspeed performance (or lot of highway driving) then I would recommend something not as soft with a higher speed rate. I have these as well, but on our 2000 legacy GT wagon and in the same size as the talon 205/55HR/16 nice tire, fairly solid sidewall and excellent grip. cheap from www.tiretrends.com

Blizzak LM-50, paired with AWD, I can get anywhere I need to, anyday, all winter, even when roads are closed.

If anyone is looking for TOYO winter tires... Burlington Mitsu has a super deal on them... "Chris" the Service Manager has the following on sale... http://www.toyocanada.com/products/GaritHT.asp He has local shops buying tires from him...doesn't hurt to drop him a line or stop by. My 2 cents...
1992 Jeep YJ "The Turtle" 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD - SOLD :-(
