    Who else can I buy Nokians from?

    Tunerworks advertises selling them for sure. As for others just ask your tire guy if they can get them in as errchry mentioned.

    I actually had no idea other people could get Nokian's. We have our fleet account with Kal Tire so I am there enough anyways with my pool trucks. Couldn't believe it.

    Haven't had a great experience with Tunerworks during our few transactions. I don't blame them because I probably don't smell rich enough.

    They were the only place that came to mind, I’ve never bought Nokian tires

    100% my experience as well. Had no problems taking my money and was treated like dirt every step of the way after that.

    Tunerworks has always treated me fair for tires even when I drove a Volvo. Coincidentally they installed new tires on my Jeep today while I waited. They used black weights on my dark rims, cleaned all the old wheel weight crud off, rims were cleaner then when they went in, tires were shiny and they were careful where they put the weights so they wouldn’t hit the calipers. No complaints and they take good care of the rims and vehicle.

    On that note, the last time I cheaped out and went elsewhere for new rubber on one of my vehicles I had to get one of the rims refinished since they gouged all of the clear coat off with the machine. Lesson learned.
    I like neat cars.

    My experience was in 2014 so things might have changed since then. The guy in the shop that actually did the work was great. The dickhead in the office can still go fuck himself tonight though. I paid a little under $10,000 and to actually get something in return for it was always a fight.

    They kind of do yes, but with grey market supply there is always sources to get all kinds of things if one is willing. We pull Nitto out of an American wheel manufacturer who is huge with them in the states and they have a couple warehouses in Canada so they can sell it through their own system and nobody gets spanked.
    Can you start carrying Nokians? That's about 5 sets of tires + rims that I could have purchased from you over the past 8 years or so.

    Wait is that just Nitto or does that relate to Nokian's as well? To be fair I didn't even bother to call you guys as I knew the exact tires I wanted.

    Honestly I have never tried to get the Nokian line because truthfully I have never been their biggest fan (I have work history through everyones favourite exclusive seller and I will leave it at that) but if the market wants them I will look into it.

    So curious what the complaints are then? Haha. Hakka's have been by far the best winter tire I've had, and their new all weather has been the best all weather I had. Service I got from you guys was great but I was underwhelmed with the Toyos (granted that was back in the GS05 days).

    Nokian seems to be incredibly popular, I guess the "exclusive" seller has good marketing.

    I've wanted to run Hakka's for a long time, but have been using Toyo G3 Ice or Federal Himalaya's as those are what UrbanX uses and I solely use them.
