OK after shopping around, it almost looks like Myers GM dealership is offerring the best price for me (believe it or not). 4xheritage 18" steels@199 each and 4xPirelli Winter Carving@270 installed and balanced. Works out to about $2100 with taxes. Has anyone in the Ottawa area found a better deal?

Well, I got 1984$CDN shipped from Tirerack for Pirelli scorpions+mags. But that included the sensors. So you only save 100$, but I' read not having the sensors is an annoyance...

BTW........ The RS 2LT rear suspension is different from LS.

The RS on 2LT uses the same hubs as the SS and has a 4.5 link VS the 4.0 on the LS/LT and the 4.5 link set up in the SS.

None of the above should impact 18 ' wheels.

FYI

It snowed here today.

I got mine for around $1200cdn from Tire Rack. 18" Firestone winterforce with 18x8 ASA JH9 BDC rims. I didn't order the tpms sensors though. The rims were a great deal at $89 each.

The above are the rims

Thanks for the advice guys. Went with the same rims as YYZ and Pirelli Scorpions. No TPMS. All in should cost me about 1600 bucks delivered with tax etc. Saved myself 500bucks compared to local sourcing.

Just an observation BUT the Firestone Site recommends on the chart NOT to put that tire in that size on a wheel wider than 7.5 . That wheel is 8.0 "

FYI

My friend's boyfriend has a tire shop and this is what she says her boyfriend recommends. I have no clue on these items. Never even heard of them but that's not a surprise since this is my first tire purchase outside of using whatever comes with the car.

I quote:

It's recommended that you get 18" for winter tires. The quote we got for you is the Hancook W409 ipek. It will be $683.64 this includes install (need to add tax). For the Rims is will be Teckart $686 also includes install (need to add tax).

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?!

Ya I saw that...
The tirerack site says they're good for up to 8". I figure I should probably go with the manufacturer's specs..but I also figured...tirerack is really good and would not install the tires if they didn't properly fit on the rims.

Guess only time will tell lol

Hey YYZ,

I like the rims and tires you selected...any idea why they don't come up when you select the Winter Tire package option on Tirerack? Just wondering if there is any reason why they don't show all the rims.

No idea why it doesn't come up. Probably because the tires a skinnier than the stock?? They are due to arrive on NOV 2..same build week as my car

I'll post pics once I put them on the car
