You too? I went to my tire guys and the ones I want are on back order (and I have a guy ahead of me in the queue who has been waiting two weeks :blink:)

The other options they were offering me weren't that much cheaper for the "Who makes these tires?" brands so I said I'll wait.

A little over a grand (including $80 to store the Michelins)

Wow, that's a high price. Did you try shopping around? I got my Goodyear EAGLE UG GW3 for $850 including rims. They are supposed to be the best winter tire according to Consumer Reports and many of the reviews I have read are very favourable. Might want to ask how much your tires cost through Bramalea Tire.

Thing is, none of the places that offer storage could do any better on prices (I think the scam is that they offer either "free" or low cost storage of your other tires and then blast you on the price of the tires that you buy :()

Over the winter I'll be grabbing new rims to run the Michelins on, since they are a very decent tire so far (9200km on them)
