I'm still pretty new in Calgary and I was just wondering who would have the best prices on 195/45/15 tires and also a place to get them installed without destroying rims. Best service and prices are key. Also an allignment shop suggestion for lowered cars would be wicked. Thanks.

Urban Expressions Wheel and Tire hands down the best service!

No 195/45/15 in stock with them or their suppliers. Anywhere else?

That's a pretty rare tire size... why not just go with something more common, but same diameter?

Compare local with TireRack. TireRack.com includes all taxes and brokerage so you are not surprised with fees when you receive the item. Take into account exchange rate.

Though some shops you save a little bit with mounting and balancing if you buy through them versus giving them your tires for them to mount.

I have used Urban Expressions and Spec-R Motorsports with good experiences at both.

I have used Precision Alignment a couple times for an alignment. They're good.

I just bought a set from tire rack. For what I wanted, it was by far the best deal, even after shipping. Then just take them to your favourite speed shop to mount them up

x2..I don't mind spending a couple extra bucks buying
from these guys. The service makes it totally worthwhile.
You will not get better service, that I can guarantee.

It's what I always ran back home in Nova Scotia and never really had a problem finding for some reason. I've called a lot of places in Calgary and have came up with just one set. They want $155.00 per tire plus tax installed and balanced. Is that good pricing around here?

Depends on the tire.

.. I think he meant size. A 185/65/15 is a hell of a lot easier to mount than a 325/35/19 I tell you what
