if we all move to canada with our cars, we might be able to make a big hole in the ozone layer to contribute enough to the global warming and make it warm there too?
I am mightly impressed with my Nokian Hakkas compared to the Good Years I ran last year, like night and day difference!
I Just drove abour 400miles from the very north of norway down to the middle part, about 1-2' of compact snowy conditions on the road all the way and never encountered a problem!
After a while and som e confidance build-up I was able to hold 60mph/100kmh in sweeping turns without a problem, even catching up to some 4wd in front of me!

For the IS350
All the dealers in the GTA (Toronto) are selling 225/45/17 all around as reco'd by Lexus Canada. I put my Dunlop Wintersport 3D's on a set of 10 spoke GS rims I picked up off of eBay. Dealer wanted $3k for the set, I paid $1400 including new tires, new rims, and set of TPMS...

After discussion/consultation w/ Discount Tire Direct we found 16" wheels would fit the 250.
I was not thrilled with the idea of 40 series tires in the snow in Conn., and want something taller.
We went with 16" Koenig wheels with Hankook W300 tires 225/50R 16
I did add the TPS to the wheels which Discount installed after I sent them to them.
The car behaved unbelievably well in the storm this week. Got to remember the ground clearance for the higher drifts though.
