Hey guys, So im in the market for new tires for the upcoming summer season and id like to get them before i take the car out of storage. Basically i would like to stimulate the canadian market by buying my tires in Canada. Now ive contacted our tire sponser on son but i havnt heard back and its been about a week or so. So… If anyone on here has tires at discounted prices please PM and or a trusted CANADIAN online website where i can order the tires i want without paying those f\*\*\*\*\*\* border fees with ups. Thanks, Oh im looking for 2 x 205/45/16 and 2 x 215 or 225/45/16 ---

Samson has been really busy lately I’m sure if you messages him again he probably just forgot. I personally wouldn’t recommend anyone else ---

Just so you know, the 3 sizes I posted have pretty much the same sidewall. When fitting new tires, you want to keep a similar outside diameter. Stock: 205/60R15 - OD: 627mm My sizes: 205/55R16 - OD: 632mm (+0.8%) 225/50R16 - OD: 632mm (+0.8%) 245/45R16 - OD: 626mm (-0.2%) Your sizes: 205/45R16 - OD: 590mm (-5.9%) 215/45R16 - OD: 600 (-4.3%) 225/45R16 - OD: 608mm (-3%) Get the idea? The tires are way to small. ---

205/55/16 is factory size on an S14, 205/65/15 is factory size on an S13… 205/45/16 is a mega low profile for an S-chassis… if this is going on an S13 then that tire is 2.19" shorter in overall diameter… go here: [http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/brochure/info/tmpInfoTireMath.jsp](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/brochure/info/tmpInfoTireMath.jsp) that is a MAJOR difference… if you want a shorter profile get a bigger wheel… and 205 is totally gay as well… i run a 245/45/17 on the front of an S13 as an FYI… should go with a 245/40 but it isnt available in this tire… that’s 2.38" taller than what you want to run. if you’re running a 16" wheel you should look at a 225/50/16 and forget your preference for a shorter profile. ---

Stock S13 is 195/60R15 or 205/60R15 depending on year and trim. ---

PM’ed! I’d recommend looking into 205/50/16 and 225/50/16 if you want something meaty and low profile. 16" tires don’t usually come in 40-45 sidewall…if they do it’s $$
