Where to buy Winter Tires

Hi Guys,

I've been quiet for the last while now. Lets just say I'm busy with two jobs and watching flip soap operas!

Anyway, Im shopping for winter tires. We have them up here but they are too pricy imo. At a local Costco, a michelin alpine start at around $238CAD.

I looked into discounttire.com and they have pretty good pricing.

Can anyone recommend a place/shop where to get winter tires (any brand) around north of washington?

Thanks in advance guys!!!

Josel

If you go to Discount tire with printout from Tirerack they will exactly price match for you, then you wont have to worry about warrantee if something happens to tires or bring it for mount/balance.

Checkout the Hankook Icebear. Had them and loved them. They are also quite a bit cheaper than some of the more popular tires.
