i got blizzaks from tirerack.com, they slapped a piece or cardboard with the address on the bare tire and rim and sent them unpacked. they're a reasonable price, good quality, worked well last winter on slush and heavy snow, they also got me out of icy parking spots....No problems except for that one time i slid down an icy hill....

I just bought Kumho KW 11's for 530.00$ CAN installed taxes in. They have been recommended by my mechanic and by Consumer Reports as a very good winter tire. The size is 205-55-16.Stay away from the Conti's, they are not very good , friend of mine had them for 1 season and sold them!Good luck in your purchase and keep us posted!
