Dear All,

I wanted to buy 4 winter tires and rims for my Venza (235/65R18).

Toyota is asking for $1750 + Tax.

What is my best option? Where can I get the best deal?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks
A

Search for Tires23, they have the cheapest tires+rims. But they don't fix flat tire for free.
Whereas if you buy from Canadian Tire/Costco they do fix flat tires free but will charge balancing fee.
If you buy from Kal tires, they do fix flat tires free, am not sure if they do balance the tire or not.

You can take quote from one and take it to other, they all do price match.

I had once purchased winter tires from CT. Twice they fixed the flat for free and on the third one , they replaced the tire at a pro rated value based on the wear. You have to pay for the balancing though @ $10/ wheel but I guess that would be a standard anywhere.

People here have recommended Costco. As well as (not sure if it is of value now as well ), but getting tires shipped to a Niagra garage across the border and then doing a trip for installation .

Fido,

Is buying from across the border still profitable? I got all seasoned this summer from Costco for about $600. How much is the difference still, even with the prevalent exchange rate?

Last year I had got a good deal from a shop called Evolution - hard to find on internet. It was a sister company of some tire shop. I got 4 Michelin Tires with Rims for my Mercedes at 1400 all inclusive ( tax/installation/nuts/balancing). Spoke to them on phone, confirmed on phone, went there and the tires were on rims ready to be installed.
