Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE

Michelin premieres perform great in the snow, about as good as winter tires (reviews on tirerack) Turned my prius into a beast in the snow (for a prius).

I purchased Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, from Tirerack, my god they are better than the ExtremeContact DWS tires (which I used for 8-10 years).

The defenders are all I ever buy. They will rot before they loose tread lol.

I've used Michelin Defenders for years and have been very happy with them.

I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx

Michelin tyres. They’re one of the most reassuring in wet road conditions. The car behaves predictably in heavy rain conditions with those tyres fitted.

You want cheap tires. Go Westlakes. Great budget brand.

I've run a few sets and no complaints.

I have cross climates on my truck and I can't believe how good they are. It's the first time I've ever been impressed with a tire

Given that you live in Toronto I would say Michelin Defender. All season tires, but absolutely amazing in snow.

I'll second the opinions on the pa4's. They definitely lack some grip compared to a more pure snow tire, but they are a good compromise, and I definitely run out of clearance before I run out of snow traction.
