Great deal, but highly depends on what tires they are offering.

Agree but with the awd I almost wouldn’t mind a cheaper tire for winter, what I’m saying is at that price who cares lol maybe I’m just being a tight a$$ lol

 

[Hockster]

AWD doesn't help with braking or turning. Don't scrimp on tires.

I have gislaved nordfrosst 200 and they were very good in winter last year

They found 18" Steel Rims and are putting on Ovation winter tires.. I considered it, but decided not too, even though things are tight now, Christmas shopping, and buying a new car outside my original budget
Ovations are cheaper brand for sure and stopping power is not great... see link I found.

Ovations are very low on the list in order. I'm going with these cool rims and putting Nexen Winguard Sport 2's 235/45/18 all around.. they are very high in test results, beating out many many top brand/models... So cheaper and a great choice ! I actually hate the tread pattern, but the results speak volumes, so I'm going with them. I never like too too v-shape directional tires..

Sorry the one you are going with in the picture. Those are nice

I don't know. He sent me few pics of options and good price, so I selected these. I've emailed him asking for the brand/link yesterday, and waiting for reply. I usually like to know the specs of things I order, cause I requested they be decent quality and on the lighter side (in hopes for my every so slightly better fuel economy). Haha.. I don't need to be putting on really heavy rims... He claimed they should be approx 19lbs..
I'll send the link, so as I get it.
Oh, the rim shows ope on the center piece, but I can't find a brand named ope in google ?

 

[I Stung U]

oh, I do see they are Flow formed, which is suppose to be stronger than cast rims, but they still can be a bit brittle, apparently in the center bore.
From what I read, it's really only an issue if driven hard in racing, and not likely an issue for regular driving, or even a bit hard that we may do on the streets.
Still waiting for reply on brand webpage.

 

[I Stung U]

anywhere in Durham or not to far where folks can go for 1/4 mile runs ?

 

[I Stung U]

What does the E symbol stand for ?

 

[Hockster]

What does the E symbol stand for ?

Kia "E" Badge Meaning

 

[I Stung U]

I'm still confused ?? is the E for "Ecstatic" ? "Energized" to have a Stinger ? haha

 

[I Stung U]

I can't see what brand that is. Can i kindly get a link?

If you haven't gotten any yet ? here's the link, but their website suck with no useful info.
Ovation Tire Canada – Official site

And I found a website where many tires were tested, and this tire was way down the list for it's traction score. It's a cheap alternatives and a few have taken advantage for that. I can't blame them, as costs aren't cheap for this car. But I couldn't trust this tire for myself.
I went with the Nexen Winguard Sport 2, as they have Awesome traction scores and lower price than the usual name brands.

 

[I Stung U]

And I still don't know what the "E" symbol stands for ? it's just a Kia thing ? if so, why an E ? Any explanation ?

And the supposedly " K " symbol, looks more like a " L " for Lexus, so I'm never gonna use that one !! Who designs and comes up with this ?!!

Side Note, anyone meeting up for coffee on East half of GTA ? Durham Stingers ?

 

[I Stung U]
