Too lazy to look it up (and @ work)
The V4's are nice (current for me), I just wore them out with a metric ****-ton of driving :/

yes the avid v4's I paid $117 mounted and balanced. the shop i go to is quick they have 8 people on one car. 1 guy on each tire on runner on each side (takes the tire to the tire changer) there is a guy on the changer and a guy on the balancer. in the time it took the front office to write up the bill 4 tires were on my car .

Yeah, I will, gonna give one a call today and see what's up.
Hopefully I'll have my struts, springs, mounts, and tires on this Saturday, but I might be pushing my luck haha
I'm hoping to drop off my car after work Friday so they can get the suspension done asap, and then I can pick it up and take it to discount.
Now I just have to arrange a ride for both trips haha

update?

[99GTCoupe]

Yeah, sorry
Got discount to give me the $128 price (only took a couple minutes). Haven't done them yet, my shop was backed up doing my suspension, so I have to wait for this weekend for my tires. Though I will say, both front hubs, all springs/struts, car rides soooo much better I keep reaching for my door handle and forgetting it's an inch lower hahahaha

[Metallman56]

cool. glad you got a good deal.

Kumho Ecsta AST anyone know about these tires any good?

[ramairgt19]

i love the tripletred but being in canada a set of 4 tires is 750 bucks and that stings so looking at something eles so just tring to see whats good tires would like all season tires and suggestions any guys from canada toronto any places or adv would be helpful thanks guys

I have Kumho Ecsta ASX tires and I love them. They handle way better in winter then my Nitto Neo Gen's did and have a way better ride quality. I considered the AST but the ASX seemed like a better tire at the time bc I have a friend that was running them on his talon and he had nothing but good things to say. I haven't heard much about the AST's.

I was happy with my Yoko Avid V4's. I got a lot of miles outta them.

I like my Fuzion HRi's right now. Fuzion is a new division of Firestone/Bridgestone.

Just don't get the factory RSA's. I can't believe they cost 3 times as much as they should.

If you want to buy "locally", I would wait for about 1 to 2-months.

Typically Goodyear & Bridgestone will have spring warehouse clearance sales.

I see an advertising today locally for me:
Firestore Tire & Automotive Centre
859 The Queensway (East of Islington Ave., on the south side.)
Etobicoke
Tel: 416-255-0188

All tires on sale for 45% off of MSRP. They carry Firestone & Bridgestone tires.
(The best I have ever seen was 55% off of MRSP. But they were hurting that year.)


For Michelin, BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, & Nokian tires I would check out:
http://www.kaltire.com
I use the Mississauga location, formerly known as Mississauga Tire.

For Goodyear tires, check out: http://www.bramaleatire.com

But I would still wait until you see the warehouse clearance sales, if you want Goodyear locally.

Example of last year: Greater Toronto Area: GoodYear Warehouse Direct Tire Sale
50% off of MRSP.

For GoodYear warehouse sales: I usually see them advertised in the Toronto SUN newspaper.

PS: Just remember it is 50% off of MRSP.
No one pays MRSP in the tire business; more like 33% off of MRSP (based on Active Green & Ross pricing online) for the Goodyear Triple Treads.
