[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 291611, member: 2217"] Big difference in winter driving and needing winter tires between Vancouver and pretty much anywhere else in Canada. Yes. Van gets snow...occasionally, but It's usually gone the next day, but the bigger problem (other than the snow never disappearing) for the rest of us for daily driving is usually the pavement temperatures. Vancouver cold weather (if you can call it cold), over the course of the winter, drives their frost down 18 inches. Typical Alberta frost line is 7 feet. We bury our water lines a minimum of 8 feet in the ground. When you have a pavement temperature of -30, both summer and all season tires are sketchy unless you're driving my 4 cyl Rav4 (Which I have snow tires on anyway). Driving a high performance 2 wheel drive can be scary even when you intend to keep your foot out of it. The C8 would be somewhat better with the engine weight over the rear tires but there's still that summer and all season tire tendency to turn into stone when they are that cold. JMO [/QUOTE]
