Put the winters on my wife's stock wheels already because she blew out a tire on the highway..
Now I can buy new wheels in the spring for the summer tires

Winter tires are good for other things than snow. Ice, or slick cold roads, are best handled with winter-compound tires.

Any suggestions for some winter tyres? I have the stock summer tyres on my s4, and don't really know what to get for winter. Googled around and some said blizzaks were good?

Check out the hakkapelllitititiaiaiiisiaiiaaaa R by nokian. They are very well regarded by everyone I have known that runs them (or the other models of the hakkas). Very soft though, so I'd suggest them more if you are doing mountain runs to whistler and baker, maybe not for just rolling around the city. You might want to check the spelling though. I think mine may be off.

general altimax on 17 stock rims, heard good things about the tires.
tried goodyear ultra grip ice, firestone winterforce, bridgestone blizzacks and nokians.
have to say the one I would never buy again is the winterforces even though the treadwear is hella amazing but thats a trade off for grip on ice/snow.

On another note, when do they start salting the roads here?

the altimax were absolutely unstoppable when I had them.. last year, there wasn't much snow in the city to really test out my current blizzak LM60s...but one thing to note, snow tires or whatever, they dont do shiz on ice sometimes.

Most good winter tires would at least let you stop after some distance instead of playing air hockey with your car on all seasons.

Mine already on since the beginning of the rain came last week.
Snow & Winter tires are handling way better in rain, wet, snow weather. Quote:

Their BMWs all comes with summer tires & they don't care to spend on winter tires.
