So this is what I was thinking for tires, as I have done a little more research..

1. Pirelli Winter 210 Snow sport (195/65/15)
2. Dunlop Sp Winter Sport M2/M3 ( 195/65/15)
3. Conti Winter Contact TS790 (185/65/15)

I will be calling tire works in Mississauga for prices, I'll let you all know.

2. Dunlop $110
3. Conti $110

This may be a stupid question but do you need all 4 wheels to be winter tires. Could you get away with just the front ones as they are the ones that need the traction?

A lot of people only do front tires. I do a lot of driving so I like all 4. Plus then you can still rotate them. You will have better traction in the rear when cornoring which will reduce the chance of the back end coming out (yes it does happen on FWD cars). It also helps you stop faster.
