I believe in Western Canada, you can only get them from Kal Tire as they have exclusive rights. 1010tire has them, but I have read that they won't ship them to if you live in Western Canada, however results have been mixed.

I'm pretty sure I saw Nokian tires in the Cdn Tire flyer this week. They were going from $50 but I believe those were for 13" tires :S

kal tire. which ones are u looking at? i got the nokian WR's for the highlander, great tires but expensive. i think i paid 9 bills for all 4, but for a winter tire rated for all season, cant go wrong with that...

I was looking at the Vatiiva A/T. simular to the WR but non directional. but sadly not winter rated either. the WR don't come in my size.

the kal tire price wasn't bad. but they wanted $32 per mount which is ridiculous $25 + 7 for new vavle stems)

I've heard discounttire in the US can get them. (the local stores, not the online shipping part of it). and they only charge $12 for mounting with free vavle stems. if I stay down for 48hrs no cnd tax. but I'll have to pay the 8% wash tax. I haven't called down for pricing yet.

do you think kal tire would come down at all to match?

tough call, unless u can get a price in paper.

valve stems that cost 7 bucks? when i was working at advance, we had customers complain about us charging $2 bucks for each valve stem and thats the best price we can comprimise on. as for mounting tires, if its a truck size tire, i would understand the extra cost as they may need a beed blaster to do it. its not so much more effort, but comes down to just need to pull at least 1 more guy to help do the mounting (one to hold the tire and inflater, another guy to use the beed blaster)

i've only asked kal tire so i'm interested as to what other choices i had
they really wanted to add in the wheel alignment cost on top of the whole bill
