    For 195-40-14s the only places I know are OEMplus ( http://www.oemplus.com/wheels-amp-ti...s-c-31_63.html ) and TunerShop ( http://www.tunershop.com/Tires/14_inches/ )

    After shipping and related fees, ends up being ~950 for a set.

    Of course if you buy like a skid of them from Europe it can be cheaper!

    you want the tires I had last year...but on an 8" wide wheel, these'd be slightly balloony...pics on a 9" wide wheel

    Sumitomo HTR 200, around 215/45R13 IIRC...maybe 55


    Otherwise if you want stretch you want the tires I bought off Shaggy. They're NLA in North America, apparently...sorry...same make, but 185 or 195/45R13....these ones....


    If you find something state-side let me know, we're going snowboarding in New York in a few weeks (to be determined) and if you have them shipped to US Address I can pick them up for you...

    Oooooooohboy I want those Pirelli's.... But I do not have $500+ to spend on two tires. Ahaha. Maybe I'll just match up the two I have and get a couple more Toyo T1R's, 195 45 14.
    Doing it right is overrated.

    I must say, this warm weather is great for being able to get in and see Josh and prepare for Spring (Fling)

    itchin' to stretch some tires.

    Was in the market for some 195/45/15's, which Josh responded to. Though it took me a couple days to re arrange my schedule to allow getting to Keswick from Brampton, Josh was really cool about it, no pressure or attitude.
    Got up there earlier on today, and done and done, in about 15-17 mins? While accomodating other clients. Josh and his crew are a great team.
    I love the tires, J Man. Quiet and responsive. Will definitely drive out there for this kind of service again. Thanks again.

    I wonder when "shrink" will become the new "stretch"?
