    You mean tramlining? Wide tires do that, stiff tires do that, ruts in the road from repetitive heavy vehicles can cause that.
    Fuck I hate this. It happens with alot of tires I've owned. I bought some relatively cheap tires from bob a couple years back for my X5 that were 315 in the rear that didnt do that, I was impressed with them.

    Wide fronts usually.

    My GT350 does it. It’s not awful mind you.

    I have 305 front PS4

    So you bought cheap tires and weren’t happy with the results? I never would have guessed.

    I am guessing that when you advance far enough to pay, they won't ship to Canada because Kal Tire has Nokian LOCKED UP contractually in Canada.
    Tirecraft and Blaskin and Lane used to. Not sure now.

    How much do you think you saved after fuel, duty, gst, plus mounting costs?
    I can't see it being worthwhile for a single set. But I may need two sets soon.
    In this particular case I was actually already coming back from a race in the states, and seeing as I was gone for more than 48hrs I didn't pay GST nor did they charge me an AB Tire Tax, so I just payed the $16USD warehouse fees and $100 to mount them.

    But even if you did have to pay for fuel, duty, gst, plus mounting costs it would still be worth it. In my case I paid $450USD shipped for 4 x Nokian Rotiva's, and Kaltire wanted $14XX installed iirc.

    it c/w the car that I bought.

    I found a co. in ebay that sells the Zline model line, but I'm waiting for NOkian to explain the different between Zline vs. WR G4

    and I'm also waiting for them to explain the difference btwn. All Weather Tires vs. All Season tires

    I use a place called MyUS.com, they ship EVERYTHING from USA to canada. Very low fee. So either way, I don't have to buy from the tire co. that monopolize and price rig the prices.

    You really should post on beyond more often, the regulars are so boring.

    Your cars horsepower does not affect how well it stops.

    Please buy real winter tires.

    All weather tires are really intended for places like Vancouver or perhaps Toronto where winter comes in wet and sloppy. 1-2 snow falls that last 36 hours and then fucks off.

    They are not intended for our cold winters and skating rink intersections.
