You may discuss our cover story of the day in this thread....
Special Feature:
Michelin winter tire test
Michelin X-Ice"All-season" tires may sound year-round, but they're really "three-season". Winter tires handle better, stop sooner and accelerate better, and yes, you should buy four of them. Assistant Editor Jil McIntosh spends a day at the ice rink with Michelin to see why.     More...

Far more interesting to many Canadians would be the performance on the various road conditions we face during the winter - packed snow; centre-bare (one side on snow, the other on pavement); deep snow; slush; and yes, ice.
