What size tires and rims.......
are you running with your snow tires? I'm still contemplating on whether or not to get a set of snow tires. Right now I'm running all-season performance tires (225/40/18/ Yokohama AVS db), but I don't think they'll hold up too well on colder days on the sea-to-sky or cypress road.

Hey, how much snow is there up there now? Do you work there? I thought they weren't open till this weekend!
And to think... just a couple of weeks ago, they were afraid they wouldn't have any snow for opening day. hehehe.

I put 215/55/16 Dunlop M2s on 16x7 rims for winter. (More)
I am not familiar with the all-season Yokohamas. You might be OK with good all-seasons w/ Quattro. I didn't want to takew the chance after a couple of hairy snow storms on the sea to sky last year - plus, I have the sport package Dunlop 9090s (235/45/17) as my stock tires, which would be a nightmare even in light snow.

I've read a number of reviews of AVS dB...
While they're quiet, their performance in the snow is not the greatest - worse than many other all-seasons like Dunlop SP5000.
