are you looking at KalTire exclusively? What about Costco? They seem to have very reasonably prized tires.
KalTire is convenient here, but will be looking at other sources as well (Sidney Tire in Parksville for one) as I have not been too thrilled with KT. There must be other options besides what they offered up today.
For Coscto, am worried about warranty service as they have (or had in the past) tires made exclusively for them and other tire stores would/could not do warranty repairs. Saw this happen a few years ago for some Michelin tires.
Edit, just checked the Costco web site, they only show 3 tires in the size I am looking for, 2 are winters and the one summer tire is the Michelin - LatitudeŽ Tour HP at $200/tire
Were you using the Grabber A/T2 tires?
I had them for 4 seasons while we were in Merritt and was using the Forester off-road much more than I am now (but this may change with my new job, not sure yet) and was very happy with them except for really wet conditions, so not sure if they would be a good choice for the climate I am in now
Replaced them with the Nokian's, at KalTires suggestion. Gone after 2 seasons
