I've ran the gauntlet out here with trying to find a cheap tire source. My problem is I only run Nittos...and Kal tire is the only way to get them...and their prices are retarded. I cant find one tire place in the states that will ship Nittos to Canada. Kal Tire has them on lock down.
I can buy them in the US and pay shipping duties and taxes and it would still be cheaper than Kal Tire prices...gross.
That reminds me, I have a set to sell as well.

I received an email saying that they have tracked down the fronts and rears I originally ordered (in 2 different locations in Canada versus their warehouse in BC) so if I still wanted them I could get them.
I thought about it for a bit and decided to go for it and give them a chance to come through.
Free shipping promo is very good too to save me a few bucks.
I will get the fronts and rears in 2 different shipments but getting the rears a week or so after the fronts is no big deal.
Pleased that they did a bit of work to find the tires for me so I guess this will turn out just fine after all.
I am supposed to get confirmation of the order today so hopefully it is smooth sailing from here.

Now if the freaking snow and cold would go away
Come on spring!!
Update: I received the tires from 1010tires so after the initial bit of disappointment they came through after all.
I am pleased and would buy from them again due to their customer service in taking care of me.
Here is a pic of the rubber. 285/35/19 for the rear and 255/40/19 for the front.
I am throwing them on the new Ford Racing Boss Laguna Seca (that was a mouthful) wheels 19x9 fronts and 19x10 rears.

Waiting for Mr A.P. to eat a bit o crow...not that online purchases are not without risk...
Looking forward to when you get them on the car and we can see some pics as those rims look really nice.
