well I just went a week ago. so I'll probably go again next month so I don't raise any red flags lol, usually your saving about $200-$300 on a set of tires if bought in the USA. just slap them on ur whip up there and cruise back, check sites like tirerack for pricing. and yes I hope it can b patched up too.

you can fit any tires that are meant for 17inch wheels really. Here's a thread specifically for the 255/40 R17 tire:

^ That's a good size. That size gives a cushier ride and fills out the wheel well better.

Looks like a lot of camber wear, barely any tread left

EDIT: you can't expect good quality when you're paying $180 for 4 tires. Might as well buy mine lol

Looking for a good tire for a good price? Hard to find in Canada...
My suggestion is to go down to the states to get them, but I remember you saying going down to the states isn't an option.
Now there are indeed some good tires like Michelins or Continentals that show up on kijiji for a good price, but not around this time of year.

Just remember you do pay for what you get.
I know the TL is an old car, but put some GOOD tires on it. A car like a TL deserves good tires. You'll thank yourself. Tires are what makes the car contact the ground. Tires affect every aspect like braking, handling, etc.
Don't skimp out on tires.

A good set of budget tires are the Hankook V12s.

I bought my Continental DW 245/40/18 for $564 in the states from TireRack.
Got quoted here at Master Mechanic for the exact same tires and they wanted over $1400.

Keep checking out kijiji, though. Maybe you'll get lucky and find good tires for a good price.

So what you think, should i go for 245/45/17 for my stock oem rims or 235/45/17 like the stock tires?? what you think would look more sporty and I'm planning to lowering on coil overs in about a month or two..

It doesn't matter. Stock offset is +45 so you'll have tons of clearance with either 235s or 245s. Just comes down to personal preference whether you want a bit of beefiness with 245s.

In the winter I rock 235/45/17 - snows on the reg. 5star 06 oem rims.

But in summer I run type-s rims on - 245/40/17 - best tire size if you ask me. I tried the 255's and it just wasn't " right "

As of right now from all the searching I've done and found best reviews are tein sports advance. I want some coil overs that i can drop about 1.5inches, that has good quality ride still and can have damping adjustment! Whats your opinion?

I run bcracing coils in the spring/summer. I can't complain, they go mad low and have 32 way dampening. bought them with my tax return doe last year. but if u don't wanna pay over a grand then go for teins. but I heard teins don't go as low as other brands. and I like there warranty , if ur shocks are malfunctioning they send u new cartridges, any u don't gotta worry about sending the old ones back. my 2cents

Well for me, i just want to go low to the point where my car looks a bit more sporty:p So teins are pretty awesome in that department. Are you talking about the bcracing coils warranty or the Teins?
