Where are you getting your winter tires?

[calgarydub]

I know that Tirebob is a great guy, I personally have used his services and it was top notch.

I am looking at buying winter tires as well as swapping the tires I have on my stock wheels to the winters. Nothing crazy just 16 inch Montreal II's 205/55/16.

I have tried calling most of the tire places I could think of and the phones were busy all day long.

It seems that the sudden snow fall has caused quite a panic here.

Again, Tirebob is an excellent suggestion but is there a few alternatives that some members could recommend to me that I might be able to get a hold of this week?

Yesterday I walked into Kal tire and ordered the Nokian's. They come in tomorrow, although since I am mounting them myself I didn't have to wait for the next appointment. Honestly, wait till next Monday, assuming there is not more snow in the forecast many people will forget about the winter tires for a bit.

I'm running the Gislaved Nordfrost 5s on both vehicles. These things are unstoppable in the snow!

These Tires are by far the best but now on Backorder depending on the size.
All my Volvo owners swear by them and when i tried them i have to agree.

I can still get them in most sizes, so if anyone wants them, send me a message and let me know what you need. Our dealership gets awesome pricing on them!

Gislaved's can be purchased from Valentine Volvo, however I was quoted almost 2800 bucks??!!?? Seemed a little steep unless they are throwing in another set of 17" sport wheels.
