Price of tires in Canada
#31
I first bought from Tire Rack in 2003 and never looked back. All my cars have tires from them. I paid 330 back then for summer Bridgestone tires that was quoted 1,200 in Canada (plus taxes of course). There is no way a local tire shop is able to come close to Tire Rack. What happened, they tried to sell me tires that were less performant and of course did cost less.

I'll back Greg on the Winter tire subject ...
Dropped by my local tire shop this week and enquired about a new set of Nokian Tires for my Subaru and the owner confirmed that there are no
shortages of tires this year , he just said to wait until the tire companies come out with the Fall rebates and to place my order with him.
Cheers

I just had a set of Bridgestone RE980's installed on my 991. I paid about the same in Canadian dollars as they're paying down south in USD - in both cases, around $1,200 USD or CAD all-in. Even got a $70 shop card as well

Nokian always has the 70-120$ gift card rebate.
The tire game has changed drastically in Canada. Prices are competitive now even at the wholesale level. No choice because online places such as PMC or Quattro will sell under cost. I don't believe Nokian allows online sale

Just ordered 4 tires for my Cayman GTS from PMC Tire.
My two usual suppliers could not get me the PS4S in a N0/Porsche specific version. One could get the fronts while the other only the rears.
Then I went online last night and on PMC's website it said they had both the fronts and rears in the Porsche specification.
Waited until this morning to double check with them and sure enough they had exactly what I wanted and needed... They should arrive by Friday of this week.
Their price was very good too, a bit more expensive than my first choice supplier but cheaper than my second choice supplier. Compared to Tire Rack they were also cheaper... Shipping is free when you buy 4 tires.
Total price including are wonderful provincial and federal taxes was $2267.75.
