Fam, I'm looking at new winter tires this season. What tires have served you well and you're happy with?

Specifically asking Canadians their opinion as US winters pale in comparison to what we drive through.

Currently considering the Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak. I've had the Blizzak before but wondering if there's better.

@mensrea yep. Most swap tires for the winter season. Some invest in separate steel rims for the winter. If you plan to drive through British Columbia, you are required to have tires that have the winter snowflake on them.

For me, I have been happy with "all-weather" tires (they do have the snowflake on them) because I don't often drive before the plows are out on our major roads, but a trip like this needs meatier tires.
