The bigger question than how much snow is how cold will it get? You can get away with all seasons where the temperature stays near or above freezing but anything much below 0 and the A/S on the tire suddenly means "Awwwwwww SHIT!"

No complaints at all - very durable and I haven't had any traction issues. I think as long as you aren't on the RS-model Brembos, you shouldn't have issues downsizing (I went down to 16x7 when I had my BRZ). Quote:
You'll be glad you had that if you live near perpetual construction and potholes like I do... I've replaced one Conti tire due to a pothole - all I had to pay was the $25 to have the tire mounted/balanced and installed |

Hmm, I don't know, man. If you want to see more wheel and tire choices, you might as well visit 4WheelOnline. They have a variety of them, coming in all types, sizes, and patterns, all being sold at an affordable price.

OP is in Canada. We have much more restricted options here. Many of the US suppliers cost us a fortune in exchange rate and shipping. Depending on where the tires are made we can even get hit with taxes and duty and that can almost double the price.

Is there a reason you aren't going with Costco? I think the WS90's are only marginally more expensive and you get a 70$ costco card with them and the 2% cash back with the premium membership.
Edit: Marginally more expensive if you take into consideration the $70 card and 2% cash back* |

Costco will only mount factory-spec tires (whatever’s written on the door sticker). They can sell the tires but won't mount them unless they're factory specs

Ours will mount anything they sell you. Probably not supposed to but it likely depends on how strict each location is with the rules.

+1 here too. Although the queue gets incredibly long the longer you wait. Longest I heard was a 3 week wait time.
