Sure, it'll cost about $570 for the whole package, but remember that set of tires should last 3 seasons or so, and it'll only be $400 or so after that since you'll have a set of dedicated rims for your winter tires.

I'm doing that with BFGoodrich Blizzak WS60's, the Michelin X-Ice series is better for dry traction, but nothing comes close to the WS60's for actual on-the-ice and deep-snow traction on passenger cars like our Yaris. =^.^=
bridgestone makes the blizzak and continental's TS790 got my nod for this season.

Corrected my post, was written from my cell-phone while at work initially so I couldn't cross-verify. Only remembered that it was made by one of the major tire-fabs that start with a B, guessed wrong on my 50/50 chance!
