As much as i would love to purchase the wheels through tirerack, especially given how much help the guys from their have been over the years, I may have to order from a local shop.

I live at the edge of an indian reserve and can purchase through them Tax free. So basically I pay the their "retail" price on the wheels.

If i buy from TireRack i have to factor in the cost of exchange from AM-Can$, additional cost in shipping, duties+terrifs+brokerage fees. On top of that, I will be taxed 15%.

The shop in my area has access to ASA wheels, but only by part number, not by product name. I need the part number (normally made available on the companies web site) in order to get a price from the local shop.

Thank you Alex.

Ive done some looking around tonight, and got a price from my local shop, and also called TireRack. The person i spoke to at TR was quite helpful (much like you Alex! ). He was willing to make arrangements which would help keep my duties and taxes down.

That said, ive decided to order with TireRack when my bonus comes in next month.

Soooo.. Alex, Im looking for a set of summer tires to go with the Em9's.
Summer only. Something with decent wet/dry traction. Will Not be tracked at all. Higher mileage is more important then all out performance. Price and cosmetics are of course an issue.

Just want something price concious, will last for a while, and will also give me decent traction. And would like them mounted and balanced as well.

215/45/17 I'd look into Bridgestone RE950. 45,000 miles - cool looking and feature's Unity AQII.

$145 ea in H, $167 ea in W.



W is easily the sportier of the 2

Good tire, but summer only - very quite for being directional.
