Speedmerchants or Touchette. Michelin Cup slicks are the best for your car. Hoosier R80 F R100 R next best. Jim has both as does Touchette.

Sasco is where I go when I have a chance. They ship all over the world so Canada wouldn't be a problem.

I've been to Sasco when I went to VIR. Interesting place for sure.

Yeah, I've been known to wander into the shop just to drool.

Everyone there is great to talk to and deal with. I'm still impressed that most of the vintage tires they sell are hand grooved. All those Dunlops you see at vintage events are done by hand at Sasco or Roger Kraus I believe. Maybe a couple other places but those guys are incredibly patient any way you look at it.

We spent a bit of time wandering around and drooling as well. Several Lola T70s IIRC were there along with some other very interesting machinery.

They were showing us the templates to groove vintage tread patterns on the new rubber. Very cool.
