Yeah, I know it's really early to talk about winter, but I just got my car last week and am still pretty excited (as you all probably understand).
I had a VW Golf 1.8T before this Saab and I definitely used winters on them - it was a noticeable improvement. (BTW, I live in the Toronto area - so winters are certainly not as rough here as other parts of Canada and the US)
I enquired about the winter package at the dealer and they were quoting around $1600 CAD. I'm not keen on spending that much.
I called Canadian Tire and they have 15" steel wheels for $58.99 each. So, with decent tires, that should run around $800 for the set.
The Nokians seem to be popular and I've only heard good things about them, so I think I'll look into a set of those...
Thanks everyone
Ed
