furbal, try braidan tire at 48 north of 16th. I've heard lots of good things about him and pricing is also fair, they also run specials and may even do price matches. Beats spending hours of your time driving to mississauga.

If you're going for cheap go to Walmart. You'll be happy for what you're looking for.

Simplytire is solid, been a repeat customer there for years. If you wait a little bit he will probably have his annual RFD groupbuy.

what kind of snow tires are y'all running on your car(s) this coming season??
I had the Hankook iPike W409 on my Audi, should I get those for the 328 as well, or should i explore something "better"?
mostly highway driving, and some downtown driving, roads are usually cleared within first 24 hours.
i like the W409; drove the S2000 with those when i drove it for 1 winter.

I have the ipike on my civic. It's better than all seasons, but as a snow tire, it's "ok".

Ive been using the w409 for a few seasons now on my Veloster and my Civic before that. Great tire IMO, especially in the deep stuff. Kinda loud and mushy on dry roads, but a sweet snow tire. But, I think I read that Hankook is replacing them with something else, the w419 I believe it called.
Allen from SimpleTire recommended the w419 or the General Altimax Arctic is a lower cost winter and the new Blizzak WS80 for a premium tire.

That's pretty cool, but I fail to see the dollar benefit unless you have a bunch of them lined up and one operator can run 4 at the same time (for example).
For the down time that the tech has, not sure how he can be utilized since he still has to sit and baby sit the machine, just work less.

^ Probably not so much to speed up a tire change, but reduce the potential injury claims (the guy hurting himself w/ the pry bar prying the tire off the rim) and damage claims (from customers saying their rims got gouge by said same screw ups).

I just bought Firestone Winterforce steel studded with carbide tips.
