general altimax arctic in 205/55/16 :D

unfortunately when i was going to make my purchase for 15 inch steels with general tires, steelies were already sold out, and plus I didn't want to shell out 82 bucks per alloy wheel before shipping and taxes.

Oops, fixed.

100 bucks for lug nuts? OMFG

Got my winters on this morning at Sorat :) Bought steelies for my tires $55/pc and $10/pc for install and balance. Pretty good deal compared to several other places I checked. They did a very nice job!

Just got winters on the stock steelies and waiting for new rubber for the summer rims... Should I buy lock nuts for my winter tires??/ Got all 4 brand new... Spent some good coin on them and wondering if its worth it to people to steal them..

Wow that's great pricing from Sora't

i think its fine


dont bother with lock nuts


not unless you got some balling mad fancy rims


otherwise i wouldnt sweat it

If that is still there by friday. It is definately true

Hey guys , I am a noob. Just wondering if the whole ICBC won't cover you if you get into an accident and you don't have Winter tires is happening in Vancouver too?

AFAIK with ICBC, it's a question of whether the tires are suitable for the conditions. Last year A/S would've been fine but if things go as predicted, this year, winters are a must.

Try Titanium T1R lug nuts, 500 bucks:rofl:

My rims, tires @ 90%, lug nuts and the key cost $150.
An older guy sold me his sons rims, because he left them in his garage. I love craigslist.


Could someone please confirm, that ICBC requires tires be suitable for driving conditions for coverage to valid. That would make sense on mountain roads and the interior, but a lot of people in Vancouver use all seasons year round regardless of snow; I can't imagine none of them having coverage in the event of an accident..

I personally have never heard anything of that sort. But I am no a professional nor should you take my thoughts as the final answer.

They will still cover you if you don't have winter tires. Winter tires are NOT mandatory in BC. But your insurance will raise if you do get into accident though
