Didnt get anything wider than stock, but got rid of my Falkens ZE-912 and got the Continental ExtremeContact DWS installed. Will tell you guys how it is in Vancouver weather after I get the protective coating off (i drive my GLK daily now so may take some time to sheer the coating off lol)

I'll be waiting with bated breath, as I have the same Falkens on my 5. Decent tire, but not living up to the wear I was expecting. Since we are heading into winter, I'll be buying new summer tires come spring, so you have some time to sheer off that coating! 
I lived on the coast (Nanaimo 1969 to 1985, Vancouver 1985 to 2000), but now live in Kelowna. Sure wish I had rain tires when I lived at the Wets Coast (and no, that's not a typo!).

just grab a set of Nokian WR G2's, they are a legal snow tire and they track in rain like mad! i live in victoria and they out-perform any tire i have ever had.
the falkens are good tires, but their tread life is always lower then falken claims unfortunately. WR G2's just got rated #1 performance snow tire by consumers reports and they can be used year round. i am over 30k on mine and they still keep traction like the first year i had them. grab a set and enjoy the road

I run Nokian Hakkapeliitta R in the winter, I'm looking for a tire for the other three seasons. The Nokian i3 may be more appropriate for me.
