Tires
Do you guys run winter tires? is it really necessary? I was thinking about running all seasons for this year and next year but i just checked on tire rack and the OEM Pirelli Scorpions are apparently all seasons would you guys say this is true?

I didn't put winter tires last year and I was 100% fine. I will this year though. It's mandatory in Quebec. I am going with the Toyo OBSERVE OPEN COUNTRY G-02 PLUS in stock size 275/55/19; real winter tires. I am sure there will be a (little?) difference. The G500/550 tires seem to have more grip than the ones on the G55 (more summer oriented).

i agree that the stock tires are more than enough during the winter but the thing is my pirellis are very worn and im trying to figure out what to do for this upcoming winter season. I will check out the Toyo Observe open countries, thanks!
