i know this is the wrong thread to post in but i didnt want to make a new post for such a boring question..

Anyone know a good place to get tires? I got quoted $400/tire @ regency for some summer michelins.

And another question, does anyone know if i can fit all seasons on the 19'x8 f-sports, without rubbing?
Im getting the GS AWD version for my IS cause mines AWD too and I dont want 18's...

Thanks in advance!

what size michelin tires? i assume 245/35/19, michelin pilot sport sp2s, these are summers, not all seasons. 235/35/19 is a bit better, still a slight oversized though. but for 8inch wide wheel, its fine.

19x8 should be fine so long as the offset isnt too agressive, stock is is 18x8 and 18x8.5, on the 2is250awd, its 18x8 all around.

if your upping to 19s, i assume the sizing is 245/35/19. michelin pilot sport sp2s.
tiretrends - $402.95
1010tires - $365.99

235/35/19 - PILOT® SPORT A/S PLUS
tiretrends - $368.95
1010tires - $349.99

these are all local places that carry the tire in CAD.

u will most definitely save if u go to tirerack in the states.

lots of tire shops in vancouver. volco tires comes to mind.

are you lowered? i can't remember, but the only mod you've done is exhaust right? as long as your all season tires are the same aspect ratio as your stock tires, you should have no rubbing issues at all.

it says the offsets are 40mm, and the recommended tires are Michelin Pilot Sport AS P225/40ZR19, for the 3GS awd, which is the path I want to go.

I'd prefer all seasons over summer tires cause I know come winter time I'll be too lazy to swap the stocks back.

I'm not lowered yet, but I think I might have to cause I'll look like a truck with 19's on haha..
