Kipling Tire has been my go to for years. Very busy though.
I second that. Kipling Tire has been my dealer for 10+ years, and at one point was the largest Michelin volume in the province I was told. Pricing is always competitive. I just put on new PilotSport 4S a few weeks ago, fresh batch from the factory. There's a $100 rebate on right now as well.
Yah - tires 23 for 1950 out the door - just called. That's also running 305s in the rear instead of the 295s that are on there.
Worth the drive from Niagara to save that kinda money I think.
For those of you who have been going to Kipling Tire, I've been trying to get quotes from them over the years and have never been able to get a quote that was competitive. Often the quotes get very expensive after installation etc. Not trying to knock them, but that was my experience. After shopping around, Tires 23 worked out the best for me.
I usually try to get my tires from a local shop that I trust will do a good job with the balancing and won’t damage the rims. It’s also not worth my time comparison shopping and going out of my way to save $100 on a set of tires. Once in a while, I’ll pick something up from the Tire Rack when they have a great deal, but my go to most recently has been SportsCarBoutique as Ilker has always treated me very well.
At burning rubber right now getting my Michelins. Great shop. Just finishing up on a very pretty 488 when I pulled in. So pretty and making me rethink the idea of changing out rims. Was Ferrari red with gold rims and been struggling with an idea of getting rod of the factory black lobsters for something new and bronze has peaked my interest.
I have to admit that for my daily drivers I like to use Costco. Their lifetime; road hazard, puncture repair and balance warranty is excellent. I do make use of the free balancing at least once or twice during the life of a set of tires. My “other” tire guy can get close to Costco’s prices but he does have to charge for repairs and rebalancing down the road which I totally understand.

In my past experience with Kipling Tire, I can tell you the following:
1. I needed a set of tires for my Mustang. Kipling needed to order them in. When I went for the install a couple days later. Their price was $100 less than the quote. I brought this to their attention. He told me they came in cheaper than expected. The price was already competitive. More so with $100 off.
2. During the install, owner wasn't happy with the weights on the rim(inside). Had the installer remove the tire and change tire posiitons to reduce the number of weights.
3. I put on brand new michelins on my dd. 5 weeks later, major screw. They popped the tire, plugged it with a patch. Rebalanced. Charged me $5.
Only complaint about them is that they are busy. Always great service beside the waiting. Although, if scheduled, they are very good.
Just had a set of new P4S mounted at Burning rubber. chatted with the owner, Zee and a couple of the staff. never been there before but shop was a lot bigger than I thought - 5 lifts and a wide variety of cars in the shop - 2 911's Corvettes and some 'regular' Audi's. They looked very busy.
Owner was great, happy to spend some time to talk and he said they get a good number of 911's through -they had 3 booked in today for various jobs.
Hunter road force balancing and the cheapest in the area that I could find. Based on my experience I'm definitely going back.

Similar experience for me. They also do alignments which I didn't need but would be comfortable allowing them
