where to buy?
i found a link before with some cheap hanook winter tires but i lost it
but yea, ontario in the GTA preferably west end

edit: forgot the size, 205/50/16

 

selling brand new 17" sporty rims for winter tire (yes, they are cheaper than steelies). if ur interested pm me i can also hook u up for falcon tires (better/equal to hanook)

 

The best snow tires I have had on any car are Blizack WS-50's. They are better then X-ice or anything else out there. The only problem with them is they wear fast in warm weather so make sure you put them on when its cold and take them off as soon as it gets hot out.

Also, the narrower the wheel the better for snow tires.

I go to Bramalea Tire in Brampton, they basically supplie the GTA with most of their tires so they have the best prices. Their service is very very good too.

 

bump this.. as its getting cold. anyone care to recommend a good make for winter tires? also where to get them swapped?

my relative recommended this place by green lane?? they specialize in michelin i heard anyone know if this is any good?

 

I just got the winter tires done yesterday at www.tires23.com , they are located in Mississauga...Viking Snowtech 205-60-16, $660 taxed in with cash/debit, balanced and mounted! Great guys to deal with

 

does that include steel rims??

 

yup!

 

oh btw... are you 08 lancer owners switching to the black steel rims for winter?

 

Yeah I'm getting black steel rims.

 

i have a set of pirelli winter carving 205/60/16 on black steel rims.

that place on green lane is called Green Bay Tires or something - hear about it a lot and i've been there a few times to change over tires... decent prices.

 

the place i was told to go in green lanes is always on the chinese channel. its pronounced something like (gei geen lurn tie) canto.

 

are you a member on MCCC? There's a couple of vendors selling winter tires there...i've always found a whole bunch of FS threads on different local forums too(TCC, toprotege, etc)

 

anyone know how much it should cost for 4 michelin x-ice with steelies and install? i got quoted 1250 seems a bit too high?! im getting 16"

 

That's riduculas i'm getting the winterforce tires on monday $75 each (Subaru Group Buy) and I bought steelies for $160 all four so (Ad In The Paper) brand new =$460 for the parts plus the cost to install them which I should be able to find for a decent price. PM me if you want a link

 

^ wow those are pretty good prices.

I just got mine mounted on last weekend, cost me 8 bills for 4 TOYOs and 15" steel rims. I figure they're last me a few winters so might as well go for some good ones.
