Default One new tire...

So I had to get one new tire because I got a flat from a poorly fixed construction site a while ago.

Pirelli 235/40 R18

Had to be ordered in as no one in the city carried it, ended up running me $387 for one...

Not looking forward to needing 4 new ones.

OUCH! Better sell that car before it needs tires!

What Pirelli was that?

I'm trying, cause I know a red avant that would suit me better.

It's just a Pirelli P6 Four Season.

Highway robbery! Can I ask where you went for the tire?

OK Tire on South Albert.

OK Tire was the only one that seemed to carry Pirelli.

And now after looking online they are going for about $150usd/tire

Yeah, I didn't want to tell you that they are on sale at TireRack.com. It still would have been close to CAD $300 to your door. Add in the mounting and balancing and you're not far off. I've also heard that road hazard warranty doesn't transfer across the border, if that's worth anything to you.
