Dunlop Graspics 205's and 225's on 16" rims. I paid $500 for the set, used, on rims. And they were NEW condition!

Pics from last winter when I bought them:

Damn you're crazy for driving a Porsche in the winter. Despite having good winters, I'd be pissed if some douchebag in a champange colored Corolla barrels into me.

what are you running now, got a review for us?

How come we never see you drive the Camry nad you talk so mcuh about it?

I'm still on my all seasons Toyo Proxes 4...best all-season tire I've used.

Excellent in the rain...decent in the snow if I drive carefully. But I rarely drive when it snows anyways.

Got X-Ice2, a few weeks ago, on the Prius, and tried it out last night. They work really well. They're quite sticky in the snow, and I was able to make the slippery climb out of the garage with no slippage. It handled well on roads of varying conditions, and turns didn't produce any understeer.
