I'm going to be needing tires this summer and was wondering where the best options might be?
Is it worth a trip south of the border?
Dealership maybe?

Thanks in advance for your input.

 

depends what you want to go with .... back with 4S ? Pzero PZ-sport ? All Seasons ? There are Conti DWS06, Michelin A/S 4. I personally switched to Michelin A/S 4 last year for my replacement, certainly, any all seasons will give up some grip/traction in hot weather but the A/S does a bit better in the wet over the 4S, for example.

If you are in the Greater Toronto area, you can contact Advan Tires in Scarborough for a quote, their prices are pretty good as I had purchased multiple sets from them already.

 

I will be sticking with summer tires as I have a dedicated winter set up. PZ4 or S4S would be good.

Thanks

 

Ok. Then between those two, I would stick with the 4S. Pirelli tires are not that good and wear fast.

 

^That and you could wait for PS5 it is already official. (no not the console)

the PS5 should be available March 1/2022. Just don't know how difficult to get them nowadays.

 

1) These are PS5. There is no PS5S yet. I would expect the summer performance of PS4S to be superior. I would wait for the S.
2) I haven't seen our sizes announced yet.

 

I buy all my tires online from Tire Rack. Not sure if they deliver to Canada, but they've been my source for all tire needs. I just ordered PS4S front tires for my C63S coupe. They are now available in MO1 spec. The PS4S are somewhat backordered at the moment, so if you think you need tires soon, I'd order them ahead of time. They just emailed me the other day that their shipment is delayed till 4/22.

 

Tire rack delivers to Canada … but once you factored in currency exchange and shipping, it will likely cost a lot more than getting direct from a Canadian tire shop

 

I just installed a full set of PS4S in OEM sizes that I got from Discount Tire.

 

I quoted from Tire Rack online and it did not seem to be worth it when factoring in all additional expenses such as duties, shipping and broker fees.

Tread is still slightly above the wear bars so i feel i have some time. I'll look into the PS5 - the S would probably suit my needs best if i can wait.

I noticed there are other brands popping up such as Continental, Kumho and Yokohama - anyone tried these?

 

check PMCTire, didn't personally buy from them but some people swear by it so it might be good.

 

Do remember this is not the next generation of Michelin 4S > 5S. The 5 could be just a tiny notch below the upcoming 5S per se
