Damn Canadian Winters

Whats up everyone

I'm currently about to buy my first set of winter tires to put on my steelies, I'm taking off my Rota's with T1-S' to get back into winter mode. I'm currently considering these tires purely out of suggestion from local shops, and I was looking for some input.

Can someone suggest to me a really good winter tire, or let me know why I should or shouldn't buy the following; right now I'm either thinking about Micheilin Alpine Allstar or, Toyo Observe G-02.

Stupid Canadian Winters.

Thanks a lot

Arctic Alpines. I personaly think they are the best all around for winter city driving. The tread works great on packed snow and ice. And they arent too bad on wet/dry pavement either based on reviews ive seen. Any one with the "mountain-flake" logo should do you fine.
