First off, forget the 'all season' crap. For Alberta you need two sets
of tires, wide performance rain tires for summer, narrow tires with
high sidewalls for winter. That means two sets of wheels, nice spiffy
alloys in the summer, smaller diameter stamped steel wheels for
winter. For winter I recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks.

Been there, done that, Edmonton and Cold Lake
