Alberta (Calgary) Meet ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm game for a meet.

Thanks jjbkid for the reply on winter tires. I am leaning heavily towards the Hankooks after having just left Can Tire with a couple of quotes: 84.99 for Hankook RC01 vs 120.99 for General Tire Altimax Arctic. Quote for Altimax was 592 and change installed and balance; 844 with rims.

I have seen quite a few Echoes, Yaris, and Civics with Goood Year Nordics

Although a little expensive, the Altimax Arctic has many favourable reviews, and some say it is comparable to a Michelin X-Ice and other premium tires at 75-80% of the cost.

Don't know how you found icy intersections with the Hankook RC01 tires, but the only negative theme in their reviews was that they weren't so hot on ice and hard packed snow/ice such as at intersections....

Thanks again for your feedback...very helpful.
