I chose these because they are dead quiet on the highway & I've been in Northern Ontario many times this winter with them (cottage roads with little clearing) with no concern. Found a set of the OEM rims easily online too, aftermarket TP sensors working fine, best way to go in my opinion. Good luck!

Local Brother I must disagree with you. Im about 45 minutes down the road from you. I have found the Michellin in 265/70/17s arctic ice to be absolute garbage in deep snow. They are at best a city tire for slush and rain and minor ice. They are by far the worst deep snow tire I have ever used. I have tried airing them down to minimum pressure for best foot print..doesnt matter.
I will say they are very quiet and are great in the rain. But dont consider them a snow tire.
For snows look at Nokian Hakkas, Blizzak DMs and a few other brands. Many snow tires get their rating based on a test with only 1 inch of snow..not ideal.
