Kal-Tire is the only place. Anyone who does carry them buys them from Kal

[Tik-Tok]

They hold the monopoly for all of Canada, unfortunately.

My tires got stolen yesterday. I got 3 seasons out of them so I guess not a big loss.

I had Federal Himalaya WS2 which I got for $460.

Should I get these again or switch to something else?

How were these tires? Might get a set.

Anybody here ever order from Quattro Tires?

I grabbed some pre studded Maxxis NP3 for $580 mounted and balanced for my Golf.

They're great in snow, but ice traction is a bit poor. I would get them studded.
On dry pavement they feel a bit wobbly in the corners if you go hard.

Friends have ordered from there and PMC. Prices are hard to beat but I still prefer to buy local and support my bros

Anyone had any experience with the Pirelli W210 Sottozero Serie II? I'm looking at getting these as they are one of the few RF winter tires available.

[max_boost]

Pretty sure that's what I had on my 911. It worked fine but I only drove the car on mild winter days.

I had those on my 335xi, they were okay and are considered performance winters. If I recall, they are recommended for AWD vehicles only as they don't have the best grip on a RWD car.

Studded hakka 9s for me for my daily and wife's car

I had them on my Saabaru, they were good but not great. I never got stuck in snow, but did slip a few times on ice.

Nexen Winguard Winspike studded seems like a solid bet or Cooper WeatherMaster ST2

I've tried the Winguard Sport and they're alright. Lasted long especially when you hoon it. The Michelin X-Ice were great in snow and is a great option.

Hi all,

I’m looking for winter tire/wheel packages for my girlfriends 2018 Q7 “Technik Package”. The wheels on it now are 285/40/R21 109Y and don’t list many options for a decent winter tire, so I’d put different wheels on, I just don’t have a clue what fits this SUV.

Who is the resident wheel and tire guy @ beyond?

Thanks,

@DustanS I just posted some 20" Winters in the marketplace. If you wanted to downsize a touch, you could get some 20" replica wheels and mount them. a bit skinnier than your 285s, but if they fit it would work better in the winter.

I put those tires on my CTS-V for the winter, and hated them. Moved to Blizzaks and much better.

Been running the federals studded for years now. Best value IMO

I am running those on the x5, they get the job done. I don’t have any complaints about them.
