    Don't want to sound too much of a bah hum bug but do you really need winter tyres? I have been to the snow a few times and I didn't even need chains....Don't they salt the roads up to the car park?

    Why so tall? The Comfortlines wear 195/55R15 so the 185 profile should be 60 (195/60 would be OK but 65 even on the 185 i just too tall).

    Hey Gambit. Have you decided on tyres yet?
    I'd like to go higher profile as well, to save my rims from potholes in CQ. Done my first tyre this week. Highest price for equiv replacement was $260. Found a new tyre at a wreckers for $64.
