Even if you just need tires it's worth checking unless your old tires are totally bald. Getting the free mount & balance for buying both + the money I got from selling my old rims & tires together was cheaper than just buying tires and having them mounted.

Put on my Weatherready 2's the other day, pretty happy with them so far.

Perfect for days like today where it was 2 degrees overnight and 14 in the day. Don't feel like I'm skating on ice in the morning with my PS4S's, and destroying my old XIce's in the afternoon.

One thing I didn't notice earlier, they're made in Canada!

I like the tread pattern! Looks so much better than 'you know what'.

Canadian Tire just quoted me $180+tax to swap my winter tires over, wtf.

Come on, man? You know the proper thing to do is to put the winter tires on a separate set of wheels!

And then it's just swapping the winter & summer set, which you can do in your driveway / parking spot.

Don't get any work done at Canadian Tire - I've come across many horror stories.

My most memorable experience with Braiden Tire was when I was looking for a helmet.

I went in store and a guy showed me some helmets. He dropped one on the floor and it cracked. Picked it back up and asked if I wanted it, and if yes, he'd give me a 15% discount (pending Brad's approval.)

I know... usually yes. But the cheapest used set of OEM wheels I could find for the i3 on Craigslist, was $1800.

And there's only a single aftermarket wheel in existence that fits the i3, and it's not in stock anywhere in Canada. $1400 + tax for a set from TireRack, and then shipping and duties and tariffs and whatever else haha.

19x5; 5x112; +43. Yes. 5" wide wheels .
