In that case I'd definitely check online pricing from the US. In my experience the bigger/more expensive the tire, the bigger the price difference between the US and Canada.

Are you planning on using your OE rims for the winters? I ask because typically you can save some $$ of you go -1" on the rim size for your winters. Plus the resulting higher tire sidewalls are a little more comfortable on the frost heaved roads in winter.


I'm sticking with the stock 18"s for Winter usage, and getting some 19"s for the Summer.

Lower it then. ;D

I may be doing that too.  ;D

With a car like that you should be scared of stock heights. :rofl:

Go with Tirerack 100%.

You won't be able to find anyone who can beat their prices, short of buying slightly used out of the classifieds.

I had Dunlop Wintersports mounted/balanced on cheap alloys delivered to my door in like 5 business days.

With all apologies to the Canadian vendors, they can't compete with this dollar.
