I'm running winter tires on my Q45. I wouldn't even consider all seasons for the winter in our climate. I never had Yokohama snows but loved the all seasons I had. My last winter set were Bridgestone Blizzak. This time I'm running BF Goodrich only because I got a deal. I think you'll really like your Yokos. Next year I'm planning on getting Nokians.

Ya, I was wanting to try Nokians or Gislaveds but neither come in the Quest's odd-ball 225/65-16 size. I wanted to stay with that size though so my winter tire options were pretty limited.

I never heard of the Gislaved before.

Another tire I'd love to try:

They're Swedish I believe. You see them on Volvos a lot. Supposed to be right up there with Nokians but not as expensive.

Ok, the winter wheels and tires are on. Very quiet. Just need some snow now to put them through their paces.One thing: I knew my TPMS would stop working but I didn't know that a hugely annoying light would come on too. I can live without the system for the winter months but need to kill this light. Is there a fuse I can pull that won't adversely affect anything else?
