My winter tires are in worst shape than I though. I'll need new ones asap.

I was thinking about some Nokian or Gislaved, but of course, there's nothing locally. Kal-tire are supposed to have Nokian, but they're all "out of stock" and are trying to sell some "canadian tire" shit.

Is there any good place to get tires around Calgary? Unless you know some way to order them from the US for cheaper?

Any particular suggestion?

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta on both my cars for the winter.
On the Olds I have WR which are a studless all season

On the C70 I use Hakkapeliitta 2 studded which have awesome winter traction

But I also noticed that Nokian has several new tires available now, they are definitely worth checking out, you will not be disappointed

I'm able to replace my Kumhos twice for the price of a set of Nokians, but I won't have to.

But I also have an American-made vehicle, so don't listen to me.

Worst time of year to buy tires, even our wholesalers are out of alot of stock.

Tirerack.com, discounttiredirect.com or tiretrends.com in vancouver.

what's wrong with the tirerack selection? $450 to your door for dunlops is pretty damn good. tiretrends is under $500 shipped for a few brands and they'll get there faster.

'76 Dodge Power Wagon. Only 4 of the 5 cars in our house are Swedish, dearie. Otherwise, it would be just WIERD.

Edit - technically only 4 cars and one car body.

Yeah, but if you lost one of your cars you'd be 0% Swedish. At least I have backups. :wink:
