Didn't realize the downhill turn right before the Hwy 48 intersection, slammed on the brakes and tires grabbed like it was dry! Wife didn't realize how worried I was until I mentioned it.

Anyways, this is my first RWD car (every day use), and first set of Winters, and all I can say is... I want more snow!!!

What winters are you running?

Not cheap, but safety was a priority when I did my research.

Haven't been out yet today as I've got the day off work, but had no problems coming back from downtown last night on the DVP/404 which was just starting to get snow covered as I was heading home. Did a few quick stops and turns on the sidestreets near my house as well and was quite happy with the results.

Running a set of Hankook iPike w409 with those awesome black steelies. I believe the specs are 205/55/16. Looking forward to trying them in the snow.
