Care to substantiate that? They win every single deep snow, hydroplaning and ice empirical test that I've seen (Tire Rack, Autobild, Car and Driver and Consumer Reports). Yes, they are squirmy on dry roads in the winter, but that's not what I buy winter tires for.

As an aside, it's baffling to see all the frothing at the mouth over a demonstrably true comment that it's going to be easier to launch an AWD car, especially when road conditions aren't ideal. |

I'll add, that I have no idea how they managed to place 2nd. I've been driving in Canadian winters for over 20 years, and have always run dedicated winter tires, and i HATE my Xi3s. I would liken them to all seasons. |

I was only clarifying that the best wet tires are summer tires. All season will do worse in the rain than summer tires. Snow, deep wet, sand or offroad/dirt tires are a different deal. I’m not really commenting on AWD versus FWD.

So the Mrs and I need to replace her car and she has settled on the 2019 CTR. Now the trick is finding a dealer that will sell one without the dealer markup.

The car has been out for almost 2 years and production isn't limited. Avoiding dealer markup at this point should be easy.

I do keep hearing that Nokian Hakkapelita are the best for winter, even though they don't top the charts |

The CTR has taken Canadians by storm. It's such a wanted car here, it's like Subaru's. Canadians are so damn brain washed that dealers have no problem moving them at basically any price. I still can't even get a test drive going in alone as a young guy, despite driving in with a car I own.. (mind you I haven't been trying very hard)

Rofl, it might work, but we might have too much fun.

Last time I took a salesman along for a test drive I had to pull over so he could puke at the side of the road.
Fuckin' *****. |
