Summer Tires in the Great White North
#31
So when you buyin' new wheels? (He said, proffering peace in dim hope of preserving life and limb...)

Apparently, I'm searching for the Holy friggin' Grail of wheels. I have yet to find the perfect ones to replace my OEM 19's...
(My skillz of a Google were defeated - I searched in vain for a pic of a hottie in a rubber tire bikini for you, to no avail. Word to the wise, though - exercise caution when searching 'slingshot' w/o moderate safe search on...< shudder >...)

Thanks for your help everybody. I just ordered 4 Yokohama s.drives (245/40R19) for my Coupe 19s. I should have them mounted within the next week or two. Surprisingly enough, Kal Tire's prices were actually in the ballpark for once. Final price including mounting/balancing/taxes/fees = $1540. Could have got them for $1190 elsewhere but the extra Kal Tire warranty (flat repairs etc) was worth the extra $50.
Hopefully this snow will be gone soon so that I can consider throwing them on by the end of April.

I keep coming back to these:
But I'm torn between that style and something with dish, like this (but w/o the chi-chi flowery cutout around the lugs...blech!):

just put on brand new Kumho Ecsta SPT KU-31's yesterday
245/40/19 rear
225/40/19 back
$1130 incl installation/balance/disposal/valves and I went with nitrogen in the tires which were extra (included in my $1130).
anyone looking to get new rubber in the toronto area.............north york area has the best tire prices. I've called maybe 30 different shops and got quotes from many.
Recommended shops for pricing in GTA:
- OK Tire in Mississauga (they quoted me $1111.80). Tires would take 5 business days to arrive
- National Tire near Yorkdale (they asked what I was quoted and I told them above, they said they'll do it for $1100). Tires were available within a day
- Superior Tire & Auto Centres in North York is what I went with. ($1080 not incl disposal and valves). Tires were available within a day

The other pet peeve is extra holes for another bolt pattern size.
IMO That really cheapens the look.
I love the rest of the wheel.
