Buy Winter Tires (Ontario - GTA)

[Nicotinebar]

Hey All,

I am a first-time car owner and enjoying my Stinger (love it).

I am looking for winter tires and I would need it with a rim. Can anyone suggest which once to go for and where can I get the best deals? looking for 18"

Since you're in the GTA, I'd highly recommend Simply. I've gone with them for 4 different sets of winters on RIMs, including my Stinger GT LTD.

I went with the Fast FC04s since they were in my top 3 Rims to get, but were one of the few available.

Fast FC04 18x8.0 5x114.3mm +40 TI

However, I'd get in contact with them now since they are insanely busy this time of year.

Allen has been wicked to work with, and just no BS any time I've purchased through email/RedFlagDeals.

I just got mine from Durham Kia. They are the only dealer that I could fine that offered steel rim that fit over the bembro brakes.

I went with the Nexen tire package $1031.00 plus tax

I then got some cheap hub caps from Canadian Tire that I thought looked like the factory rims.

I know most guys in here will want a 2nd set of alloys for the winter but for me I think this looks ok and does the job for the 3-4 months I'll have the winter tire on.

For under $1300 taxes in this is a pretty good option.

I wanted a nice set of winter rims so the car would look good for half the year ( being in Southern Ontario). I bought these Enkei 18” rims at Tire Rack and bought the Pilot Alpin tires at TireCraft last year.

Those look great. I just bought a Stinger a few months ago and am in the process of buying Winter tires / wheels since I live in Chicago and winter is coming fast. I am also looking at Tire Rack, but I figured I had to get 19" wheels to make sure the brembo's have room, but it looks like yours fit fine.

thanks! The other positive about getting the 18 inch tires & rims is the cost savings and a bit more comfortable ride

Tirerack’s site is very helpful with fitment of rims and the centring ring size

I went with some new wheels, the Fast FC04s, I think the setup with Tires, Wheels and TPMS was about 2200.

Looks good!
