Called around and got 22 quotes in Calgary. Thought others might find this useful.

Winter Tires in Calgary Was only quoting on 15's and 17's, so you 16" guys are SOL.

Sorry about the format. PM me and I can email you the MS Excel file.

These are the rims.

Pic of the rims/tires installed.

 

Lookin' good! Please tell me that's not road salt already!

 

Nope, just dirt. Keeping that trim clean is impossible.
Amazing how much more agile the MCS feels with 15" rims/tires. Even though they are winter tires...

 

Really? I keep hearing that, I guess I need to drive a MINI with some heavier 17-19" rims and see what the difference is. I suppose staying with my holies were a good idea I love how quickly my MINI turns into corners. I remember the first couple of weeks I can actually feel my brain pressing onto the side of my skull when I turn in. Never felt that way in a car before I guess now I'm more used to it and my brain doesn't feel weird anymore

 

You have to try bobsledding then. Way more fun than driving a MINI.

The car is way more agile on 15" rims. I have a set of aftermarket 17's in my basement waiting to go on my MCS. Now I am reconsidering...

Also you're welcome to try on my s-lites some time if you would like to see what it is like.

 

I got 15" Pirelli snow controls on steel rims last winter. Very happy with them. They cost me $900 or so with taxes.

Lots of control on snow and ice. And not noisey on dry highways.

They pull me through axle deep snow no problem
