Default New Rubber

Can anyone recommend a tire store for new rubber in the GTA. Looking for Michelin Super Sport or Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval run flats.

If anyone has another opinion on tires please feel free to express it.

I've used these guys a few times and have found their prices to be excellent.

I don't know about their pricing for rubber, but I bought a set of used C6 rims from them. Their customer service to me was outstanding as I had some issues that they were very helpful in getting resolved with me. Ask for Vince and tell him Faraz sent you (mention C6 powder coated rims and he will know who sent you).

It's funny when you shop around. I was told tires quoted by one shop are not available in sizes and run flats by another. Simpy Tire actually quoted me the best price on Michelin Pilot Sport All Season run flats so will probably go with them.

They are my default go to shop for tires for both my corvette and my truck for the last 5 years. Haven't found anyone that can beat'em. And OMG, no one could even touch them when our dollar was at par with the US.

Two weeks ago I replaced my rear tires and I think I bought the last two Michelin Super Sports in North America, in thais size (295/35/18).

Checked everywhere, PS2's are available but from my research the Super Sports are supposed to be better. Checked all the large distributors in the US, no one had them. Got told they're on back order, discontinued, etc.

Trilli Tires in R-hill - They found them, and with a great price!

And yes, the Super Sports are performing better. They're also about 1/4" wider than the PS2's
