it snowed this november and it stops usually april. thats 6 months. i bought the 2006 6mt which comes strictly summer rated tires.if i even tried to drive i think i would die within the hour. i have a another car so why bother spending 1900 dollars for 19" winter tires. and i prefer driving front wheel drive in the winter. so i find it more practical in my case to park my car.

I'm up for a meet in the Calgary area, and april should work for me (my G better be well broken in by that point, assuming it ever leaves Vancouver!)

Re importz' comments - some people choose not to drive their sportier cars in the winter, regardless of whether their car is a Lambo or not. I drove my G sedan in the winter, but this winter I've decided not to drive my Z. Maybe a waste of money to some but I guess that's my choice, but I think I'll be just fine in my SUV (or my wife's pseudo-SUV).
Might not be practical, but if we were all practical we'd probably all be driving around in Smart cars as long as they got us around in the snow. To each their own.
Cheers.

In fact I almost bought a winter vehicle instead of rims and tires, but couldn't stand not driving my car especially when you only deal with snow maybe 3 weeks a year in Calgary.
Speaking of summers, I got caught in S'toon a month ago with my summers on. She rained and froze and then snowed, and i had to get back to CowTown. I had a Mustang in front of me for 50 miles fish tailing all over the place and the M stuck to the road no problems. Thank god it cleared up within 50 miles I was a little stressed.
