Discount Tire Direct's eBay store also has $100 off $450. It's USD so you'll have to do the math to see it's worth it with the exchange rate being as bad as it is, but might be good if they have something you can't find locally. I got a pretty good deal on some WS80's last time they had this offer. (though it was $100 off $400 last time)
Might be a better deal if you can stack it with a manufacturer rebate.

Time to start looking for new winters. Come across some sales or rebates for winters or A/S? Share them with us.

I found a set of 215/60R16 Blizzak WS80's for $350. 90% tread.

I'm on the hunt for some BFG KO2's, ideally 255/75R17. If anyone hears about a sale anywhere please share, so far the best price I've found was Costco.

It's $240 if I include the new BMW centre caps I ordered from ebay.    | |

Just remember those are almost 10 years old.
Might do snow well but not grip ice as good as new winter tires

Still undecided if I need winter tires on the 5.0 Genesis, I did just fine with DWS06 this past winter. Drove up the hills in New West with 6" of snow without any problems. The only problem I had was trying to go down Queens but I don't think any combo of car/tires can stop on that steep a hill.

They have deals all the time to save the tax and you qualify for like a $50 GC from them and combine that with the $50 from BFG Canada and you usually get it down cheaper than Costco.
I just checked, Costco is 900 +tax. 4WP is $1013 no tax minus the $50 GC and perhaps dealer specific $50 mail in rebate.
Then ON TOP of that you can use the 6% eBates deal right now to save another $54.

I have two sets of snow tires from my previous civics.. they won't fit my truck..
One set is two Michelin all seasons 50% and two Nokia winters 95% on 15" black steelies.. 4x100 and 4x114 also comes with a third matching snow tire with 95%.
Another set of 15" 4 hankook with 95% no rims
I'll have to double check size and brand but pretty sure it's 195 50 15
Anyone interested? Shoot me an offer! I was going to keep them till winter but willing to let em go now.

PMC is $868 with free shipping and you only have to pay GST since they're in Quebec, so overall they're $116 cheaper than Costco. I'm not sure if $116 is enough of a difference to not have them backed by Costco though.

Not the best but leaps and bounds better than the performance tires the Sonata 2.0T came with. About 40% tread left. $250 if I decide to sell them.
The only thing holding me back from selling is what car I'm buying for my parents. If I get them a Hyundai Ioniq then I might keep them if they don't rub. I'm waiting for them to release the plug in hybrid version next month so it may not be until October/November until I know.

Same thing when I bought Bilstein 5100s from them. When I added your set to cart and it brought me to the PayPal page it didnt charge tax. When you pick up they only charge the tire fee in person and thats it. Pretty easy. When I did it I got the $50 BFG Canadian rebate pretty quick and got a $70 4WP gift card months later.

Has anyone looked at the Hercules Avalanche R-G2? They're ranked consistently high in tests.
Cheap winter tires that are actually re-labled Hakkpaliita R tires manufactured by Nokian for Hercules.
I'm thinking they may have the same tread pattern and mold..but different / cheaper materials? Worth taking a shot?

^ too bad they're not 16's /17's
I'm looking for one for my wife's HR-V
Pain in the ass to find used ones of either 215/55/17 or 205/65/16...so if i don't find anything, guess i'll have to grab them new
When does Costco usually have their winter tires/sales? Do they sell steelies as well?

my problem is this lame bolt pattern. most of my toyota's / VW are all 5 bolt. But these steelies are only good for 4 bolt. I dont mind it being smaller, i was going to go down a size anyways.
