I don't know much about snow tires, but just wanted to say that if you have a Pepboys near you, they are running a buy 3 - get 1 free tire sale.

I just put a set of these on my Camry Monday and really like the tires. They are much quiter and better riding than the MXV4Plus and are more responsive. Since they are directional, I would think that they would do good in the snow. The MXV4Plus weren't any good in bad weather.

I have the mxv4 on before. Is really bad on winter. Few years ago I try the Nokian WR. Wow is the best tire I even had. I have it on my Camry and compare the X-ice on my Sienna Van is no different or even better than X-ice of cause we are talking about two different car. But even they say the Nokian is on sale now they still asking for $ 147.00 + 20$ mounting + tax
If I drive down state to Montana, The michellin will cost me $ 90.00 + 11$ mounting at Costco Montana. I call some tires stores in Montana carry Nokian they ask for $ 139.00 (same size, same tire).
Humm ! Don't know. Have to think about this.

Onething I know is on the sidewall of the Nokian have a logo like a Mountain and some snowflake on it. So this telling me that this tire is o.k for winter driving. And the michellin don't have that. Is mark as a/s (all season only).

The Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S is marketed as an all weather high peformance tire. I think that it will be great for my winters because I live in the Foothills of Western NC so we only receive about 12 in. of snow a year....well we used to before GW.
I would think that a tire with a snow flake is would be best for northern winter.
www.tirerack.com lists winter tires my Michelin and others and can be a good starting point.

I totally agree with you. report rank this tire as # 2 before. I am getting confuse. Need to sit down and think this over again.
Money is not the major issue here. Of cause if I can save some is good. But can this tire handle the winter driving here is the biggest issue. Need to read more review
Thanks !
