I see that Michelin Tires has a $70 mail rebate but I don't see any other deals anywhere.

If you happen to need summer's for a VW I have a great set of Falken ZE912's that I bought in the spring...

I bought them at simplytire... Alan is great, I recommend them.

Bought my set with rims at Cheap Thrills in Milton for $550, installed and taxes in. The rims are 8 years old and not a spec or rust on them. Got another set for the other TDI from the TDI froum for $200, OE hubcaps included......also bought several sets on Kijiji.

Wow are Cheap Thrills still in business ??? I used to get my tires and rims from 'Sergeant" all the time as a young lad. Only watchout with Cheap Thrills might be the age of the tires (Vulcanization of rubber). Kipling Tire has been getting my business for the last 15 + years. They have set me up with rims as well as tires. Great service, and reasonable prices.

Not sure if this helps,

I have a set of 5x100 VW Corrado 15" rims with Nokia Haka 1 snow tires(195/65/15 I believe). They were used for 2 seasons on my parent's VW Beetle. One of the best tires. Asking $650. Cheers

The old dude sold the place and it was totally rebuilt a few years ago. Loos like they are well organized.
