I am looking to drive my 99 XK8 all year round and here in Canada Winter tires are a must...What do you recommend as a good set of winter tires for my stock 17' revolver style rims??I don't want them to look like really big winter tires, I've seen some nice ones on other cars but forgot to check the make.

BTW: Right now I am running brand new Pirelli P-Zeros are those any good in the snow?(I don't want to find out when it's too late)

Pirelli P-Zeros are terrible in snow, even a dusting. Don't even think of trying it. I have had excellent results with Bridgestone Blizzaks on a couple of BMWs now, and they look pretty "normal" as well. You can order steel rims with the tyres mounted and balanced from Tire Rack (there is a link bar on the header of the forum pages, and the forum gets a contribution if you buy). Fast service and quality products.
 
In that case I'll definatly give Tire rack a good look, especially the Blizzaks...I've already bought a second set of identical rims(stock revolver style) from ebay to use as winter rims as I can't stand the look of the black rims.

Thanks
Zack
