Thanks for the tip. I'll try that if I find that I need a little bit of extra help. Probably won't need it until I move north of Highway 7 next year. Right now I live/work actually downtown.

Last winter I had a RWD G37 with Toyo Garits. Those were great tires and I only got stuck once, which is saying a lot given the winter we had. Would like something at least that good.
Got extremely lucky and found a set with 95% tread left on a set of 335i 17" rims on kijiji.

Best price I found new, installed for 18" Nokians was $1197 both in Oakville and Etobicoke.
