I like using local independent tire shops whenever possible.
$650 sounds like a lot of money for snow tires, but I also know Canadian prices can be quite different.
I have my new winters on now. I have to go back tomorrow for retorquing (??) so that's why my hubcaps aren't back on.
I don't really get why I need to return again tomorrow, but anyways. Also, I did not have my TPMS set up with my winters. There is additional costs. I can live with a light on my dash. No light came on so far.
Hankook's have really deep thread. Ride feels a little bit more "gooey" but mostly the same. Fuel economy numbers are also up a little, but I need a few days to really see.
Taxes are 13% and the I Pike Hankooks were $119.37 a piece, plus labour. So yeah ended up at $648.
