Default Damn our 4.2 tires and so expensive to replace!!!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23527/4.2tires.jpg"></center><p>thoses are BIG tires and so large... 255/40 17 this is huge and expensive. My dealer quoted the Bridgestone S-03 at $420 CND each...that means over $1600 CND for 4!!! I know, Tire rack have them for less but the shipping and costum fees bring the price to the same as the dealer.

Try Superior Tire or another specialty retailer.

I was quoted C$280 per tire for my H255 40-17 Pilot Alpins there and have had good experience with balancing, etc.
