The R8 is too low for the winters in our city.. The car would act as a snow plow on residential streets. Although I've seen a guy drive his white GT-R in the winter, and Porches seem to be common sight in the winter as well. Plus why would you want high performance A/S for winter? I'd be looking at studded winters for sure!

Yay my first post!

Never been a fan of the R8... By the way, the best part of the C63's interior by far are the seats! It's like getting a hug every time you hop in!

Welcome! There are a couple calgarians on here.

On the really brutal days I have the kids/nannie's ml350. Full winters suck early and late in the winter. I was on summer tires in January for those two really warm weeks we had...

Definitely have to pick your spots in cow town!
