Might want to mention the bolt pattern/offset or what cars these wheels will fit.

Should be compatible with many other makes and models, price is good. be patient, soon as we have a few frosty days, demand will increase

Funny since I'm buying those exact tires on Saturday for the Forester (I already have rims) - tires, with the rebate and taxes-in, come to $670.  $300 sounds quite reasonable, but I want new and Barrhaven is a wee bit further from my new home than it was when I lived at Bank/Hunt Club and went to Movati Barrhaven 3x/wk ;D

Good luck!

I didn't realise they were that cheap when new. I don't remember them being that cheap when I got them.
Costco has them at $147.99/tire, and KalTire will pricematch and beat by 5%.

$147.99 * 0.95 = $140.59 = $562.36 total
$23.00/tire installation (a ripoff, but whatever) = $92.00 total
Subtotal = $654.36
HST = $85.07

Total = $739.43

Less $70 online rebate = $669.43

Remember that rims, new, would be ~$70.00-80.00 each, so tack on another $316.40 to $361.60 (taxes in) for rims.

$300 is a steal. I'm really surprised these aren't gone yet. Even with $200 shipping on top, I think I'm getting a good deal as I can sell my Hankooks in town for almost the same price.

They may be a steal but clearly no one else agrees. They're still for sale.

Maybe it's time to post a fresh ad and provide as many key words as possible, such as the rim diameter and width, center bore (60.1 mm? if OEM) 5x114.3 bolt pattern, offset and so forth. Lots of ppl including myself search kijiji with key words or numbers to filter out tons of junk in there as well as sellers with no clue of what they're even selling.

I already have that info - I think people just want cheaper tyres.

Yep. Found it. I guess post a fresh ad every friday. When ppl see an ad that's 2 month old they imagine there's something wrong with the product or else why nobody's bought it already...  ::)

ok. 09/11/2017 confused me.

It's just the little bit of rust on the rims then...  ;)

That is a pretty good deal.  Maybe take some more pics and put the actual thread left?  I'd want to know that if I was buying.

I paid $300 for 195/65R15 Xi2's on steelies, and they were manufactured in 2011.  I think I'll probably get one or two winters out of them, not 3 or 4 like I had hoped.  Still not too bad of a deal as the rims are at least $200+tax new.
