Depends on what size you get. There's probably a difference of $100 if you can downsize to 15 inch wheels. Assuming you're using the stock 17 inch wheels on your EX-T, I'd stretch my budget a little more to get Blizzaks or XIce 3s.

LOL I bought my Blizzaks in the 215/55/16 each brand new at Costco for $164.99 each, $15/tire install at Costco, + $4.00/tire tire levy minus the $70 rebate. Total installed was $699 after taxes. Granted you have HST so it'll be higher but still. $230 each give me a break.

Tell me about it. I think I might use all seasons this winter then look for a sale after the winter months since right now everyones in the market for them and its costing an arm and a leg.

Does that even matter? I paid $89 a piece for my Conti snows, plus a $75 rebate. I doubt it'll get any cheaper in summer, and there might be no rebate.

Blizzaks or X-Ice and you'll be fine. I personally run X-Ice as I like the low rolling resistance and long tread life. I paid $110/ea at Tire Rack and picked them up and didn't pay shipping :)

Common guys,, you're gonna wish you had winters the first time you find yourself stuck.. my safety is more important than saving possibly 100-200$.. think about it, you're wearing you're all seasons as time goes on, you may as well get the proper tires and save you're all seasons and be so much safer.. worth the slight price increase imo. Check out kijiji for tires that are used with lots of tred, lots of deals to be had.

Blizzaks also offer great rolling resistance and low noise. Not quite as good of rolling resistance and the x-ice for sure tho :thumbsup:

Fully agree. Besides, in some Canadian provinces they're mandatory or your insurance company gives you a discount if 'winters' are used.

Kinda wish I'd gotten some Blizzaks. I'm really happy with the traction of the Toyo ones I bought. Did some testing during the last snowfall.

The downfall is they're a ridiculously noisy and rough ride. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm driving a Civic or a Ram with off-road tires. At least I know what I'm buying for my next set.
