Tire shops in Southern Ontario

Wolfgarde83 · 04-13-2011, 10:53 AM

I'm from the Niagara area. Just looking around for a reputable tire place. I need new summers (still deciding - any suggestions? RFT or non-RFT? 215/245 or 225/255?).

I'm OK with travelling a bit to go to a trusted place.

Also, do you think it would be cheaper to order from tirerack, ship 'em here and then get the tires installed? I noticed the C$ prices are way higher in general.

Im from Niagara too. I haven't found anyone locally that comes close to tire racks prices.
If you do go for them, I have family that lives in Buffalo. You can ship it to them if you want to get them put on in the US
Just PM me if you do decide to go that route!

Just bought 215/245 Yoko S drives at Tires23 in Mississauga for $990 all in not counting a $80 rebate. Recommended.

Tires23 gets my vote also... got my winters from them 2 yrs ago... excellent service... and very competitively priced....

Hey PITA, what do you think of the Yoko's? How is the performance/treadwear?

Treadwear rating is 300, which seems high for a summer tire that sticks this well. It does seem to ride better than the stock RFT, but with less noise. It's one of those tires that feels really predictable. It's made in Japan (the Bridgestones RE760s that I also bought were made in Indonesia), and the specs show it to be really light.
