Hi Cindy,

I live in northern Maine (New Brunswick to the east, Quebec to the west)
and I have to go southwest to get to Ottawa.

I have Nokian Hakkapeliita C2 tires (185-14) on both my vans ('84 7 pass
automatic, and '85 Westy 4 speed) and have no trouble with winter
driving.  I haven't had to, but adding weight inside, over the rear
axles, can help with traction.

Mike
