Buying wheels and tires in Canada?

Here's my current situation. I have an 03 G35 sedan with the aero package. I have the stock all season tires and stock 17 inch rims. The tires are 215/55R17 and are getting close to being worn out. I'll need new tires next spring.

I bought Winter tires last winter that I'm hoping will give me another 2 or 3 years use.

The 215/55R17 selection doesn't seem to be all that great so I'm considering new rims (18 inch maybe) and perhaps summer tires in a different size. Anyone have any suggestions for summer or all season tires in the 215/55R17 size? What about a good store or chain to buy rims/tires in Canada?

Realistically all seasons is probably a better choice for me since in Alberta all the roads are straight and the weather can go crazy at any time.

tiretrends.com is a good place to start.

I have a similar dilemma, living in Toronto. I am leaning toward Michelin Sport tires, but it appears there are complaints about them being noisy. Is there an all season tire that someone has used that they would recommend?

I bought Toyo TPT's for my sedan last winter... for Vancouver driving with the occassional snow and ice, they performed well.

Bought them from www.tiretrends.com for about $930 mounted and balanced.
