Cheapest place to get winter tires in Toronto?

[Howard]

Tire Rack is actually looking pretty competitive 🙁

which tire are you looking for? Quebec sucked away a lot of winter tires.

I've read that the Blizzak WS60 is a nice tire. $160 at Cdn Tire, ~$80 at Tire Rack

That's why I buy all my tires from TR 🙂 If you get winter they'll even mount on winter wheels for free.

What size are they? 160 sounds good actually, I was quoted 225+tax installed for 225/55/16 from Steelcase and they did not have stock.
I have the WS60 on my wife's car. Seems to do its job. Have you actually priced tirerack everything in ? shipping + duty is not cheap. You still have to pay the sales tax on top of that. Work out the math, may or may not be cheaper. For me it made sense since I shipped the tires to the dealership and they put it on the car before I drove it back.

simplytire and tires23

they both frequent PLENTY of forums relating to cars and greater toronto area (so if you become a member of some of the forums, expect a discount)

I just got a set of all seasons from firestone on yonge just south of eglinton. It was the best price of 3 quotes. Great shop too, very friendly and professional.

Tire Rack is about $530 USD IIRC

Howard you can also ship from tirerack to buffalo holding companies to save you some border brokerage fees.

You will still have to pay tax at border crossing, but then its just tax and not brokerage fees that UPS li kes to kill us with
