Too late now to check born on date. I don't know when they were born.
I merely adopted the tires from the previous owner. I didn't see the tires until I was already a man, by then they already were sliding around.

Can anyone recommend a Canadian vendor then? Man there are lots of things to take into account! Tire rack is us based

I do have a set of winter tires.

I can confirm that PS4s in stock size comfortably outperform the primacies in all conditions.

Never too late heres how to check https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiret....jsp?techid=11


If they are 5 or more years they will start to harden up making them slippery regardless of how much tread is left

Tire Rack sells into canada and they are set up for it. Buddy of mine used them and liked the experience. He bought mounted and balanced tires delivered to his floor. Some Canadian tire shops won't mount or balance your tire rack sourced tires because they are mad at the wholesale cost difference Canadian tire resellers face, due to dumb Canadian government over regulation.

1010 is a Canadian competitor but I can't say if they are any good if not.

Our stock primacies are not all season. Bald tires grip at least as well as well treaded tires of similar age, but only in the dry. Tread patterns are for rain and only for rain. As for comparing Michelin PS A/S 3 to equivalent level summer tires:

Judge for yourself.

Wow thank u for suggesting tire rack! They're the cheapest I've found so far yet and I'm guessing their tires aren't old.

Edit: fuck! It's in usd !

I blame Saudi Arabia for the Canuck buck.

17 vs 18 ; it all depends what you trying to do later. Are you planning to add power or BBK in the future. If no, then 17s are the best for you. Unless you wanted it for looks. I have 18x9.5 +35 on 245s Falken azenis Fk510. Im planning to add BBK and a 335 sprintex supercharger in the future thats why im running 18s. Also for the people that don't want to paid 5k just for breaks, you should look into RR-Racing breaks. It combines wildwood calipers with a subaru sti rotors.
