I've heard they need warming up to really work, which in Canada isn't gonna happen in the middle of winter. I got the Axxis Ultimates and they're great, really grippy cold and insanely grippy once they're heated up.

They take a few minutes to warm up, but once they're warm, they will make you stop, trust me on that one.
Biggest downside, if you're rims are pale in color, be prepared to clean them very often, because the Porterfield are really dusty(and carbon kevlar makes Black dust), espescially if you're hard on your brakes.
I've had them for a while, and they are GOOD.

When I talked to RRM they recommended the ultimates for the reasons of cold stopping power. If you live in Edmonton your gonna need to stop at like -30 to -40 so you don't want a racing pad for that.

But you're not facing that porblem anyway since you're parking the car for the winter
