Hello,

I hope everyone is well.

My Michelin MXV4+ all seasons are approaching the end of their lifespan. As I live in Toronto, which often gets large snowfalls, I thought perhaps I would purchase winter tires instead of another set of all seasons, then next summer purchase summer and flip back and forth.

But I am new to all this and I have a few questions:
1) are there any drawbacks to this approach? Would it be better just to stick to all seasons?
2) Do I need to purchas an additional set of rims? That would jack up the cost a lot which isn't something I'd want.
3) If I do purchase winter tires, I've been reading online and found favorable reviews for both Blizzak, X-Ice, and Dunlop Winter sport M2 tires. Does anyone have any experience with these?

thank you.
