Default New tires advice? - GTA

Hey folks, anyone know where I can get a good deal in GTA for new tires?

I bought some 19" Rays
Was thinking of running Fronts at 265/35/19
Rears at either 285/35/19 or 295/35/19
Anyone running this setup or see any issues with it??
Thanks in advance!

**FYI, ill be selling my stock 18's with Yokohama Advan Sport tires on them, approx 15k, also have a set of winter Blizzaks with 7k, mounted on after market alum rims, will post these on the classifieds soon...

I'll be running RE-11 275/305 and I'll order them in from the Tire Rack. I have them shipped to a US address then they come to VI on one of the transport companies. I usually save 40-60% on tires doing it that way.

good idea, if i knew someone in buffalo or niagara falls NY i could ship there and go pick up, its only about an hours drive
Maybe ill just look for tire stores in buffalo and drive down , buy there, still save money expecially with the Canadian $$ above par

isnt the max size for stock Rays a 265/35 front and 285/35 rear,
wouldnt a 305/35 rear bulge on the rim?

Order from USA sites (Tire Rack, Discount Tires, etc), and get it shipped to a UPS depot just across from the Niagara border.

Hey Can-zed, I'm in the same boat as you are. Beginning to look for new rubber now for my stock 19's.

Which rubber are you looking at getting? I may order from tire rack and ship to a friends PO box in buffalo. Unless I can get a shop up here to beat the prices

Hey z370z, I just started looking, was thinking maybe Hankooks v12 or Continental Extremes, but not exactly sure on sizes yet either, was thinking 265/35 and 295/35's
doubt we can get same prices up here, and with CAN $$ above par, i think could save alot of money ordering from US and picking up in Buffalo or Niagara

what r u looking for??

I will be going with the hankook V12's. They seem to have very good ratings. The only thing that I am unsure about is what sizes to go with, I guess it will matter if there are any large price jumps.

Throw some pics up when you get everything said and done, I'd like to see the set you go with
