Our new family beater is coming in mid Dec. My mother refuses to be car pooled with me in my Civic because it is hard to get in and out. :P

dont take chances and dont be tite with your money.Safety first.
i wouldnt get snow tires for toronto. We dont get too much snow like up north.
A good set of all seasons will do.

but if you decide to go on a trip anywhere snows prove to be helpful, also for the added peace of mind snows are nice, just to have quicker reaction times than everyone else on the roads is worth it in my books...

I still have my 16's on because my tool kit and jack got towed away with my old car I am waiting to get them back so since it was snowing today, I went to crappy tire and bought a new jack set. It comes with a 2 1/4 ton jack, wheel chokes, air compressor, and lug socket for removing the lug nuts. It was only $39.99 and I needed a new jack anyway Marry Christmas for me!
