Canadians - where to get tires?

[Mark_T]

I bought my tires (Hankook V12's) where I found the best deal, and then took them to the Porsche dealership to have them installed and road force balanced. As usual, the service at the dealer was excellent and reasonably priced. I love dealing with these people. Every time I go there they find some way to go above and beyond and exceed my expectations.

Paul, you might want to call Glen at Ultimate Auto on Scurfield for a price on tires. Then talk to Madison about the install.

Hi Giller,

There are some good tire shops in Toronto. I have used simply tire in the past.

With my busy family schedule, I tried using PMC tire from quebec. Great prices. They will likely have something for your boxster there. Tires arrived within 2 days. You will need to find someone to mount them for you. Kijiji may help, or if you know someone in Listowel.

I am currently running Hankook V12's of varying vintages.... no complaints with respect to tire noise. My fronts seem to last forever, I've have gone through a few sets of rears, but that seems to have fixed itself after a 4 wheel alignment.

My 2001S is going to be 15 yrs old this year, so noise and rattles are a given unfortunately.

You may see a black '01S with license plate THXHONEY in Listowel in the summer. That's me. I'm there 2-3 days per week.

I'll keep my eyes open for you! And if you are ever up for a run, let me know. Boxstersteve and I try to get out once and a while - plus we usually join up for a few PCA runs as well.

Sure, thanks for the invite. Can't wait to take her out of hibernation and have my permagrin on! Let's talk.
