20-30$ tire.

 

[the_real_wild1]

Yep they charged me 30 per tire. The bill was up there as I had them studded and bought tpms sensors. Extra 420 just for those two things.

Fountain tire in Airdrie wants $40 / tire for studding

 

[the_real_wild1]

Everywhere is checked was 30. Haven't seen 20 but sure it is out there too. Fountain tire seems up there in price for most things.

They can charge whatever they want right now. There's a line up around the block at most tire shops of people that waited till now to get rid of racing slicks. Coworker had to leave his car over night just for a flat repair or risk getting bumped to the back of the line.

Ordered tires finally and will get them tomorrow. I would have almost been better off not doing any research and just going to buy a set. Too many decisions. Anyways get some general altimax arctic studded up in the morning, and putting them on my old spare rims I had hanging around from my old 2010 one ton. Should do the job.

I have the non-studded altimax arctic on my work truck and have been quite impressed for non-studded tires, I imagine they would kick azz with studs. I run them year round and the durability seems great, I have over 55,000km on them and they still look new.

The factory studded Nokkian's are only an extra $8/tire and I'm told the factory studded will far outlast dealer/personal installed studs

 

[the_real_wild1]

I was going to get a set of those but for convenience and price went to the guys up the road which was a ok tire dealer. So of course no nokians

 

[Bogger]

I'm sure you'll be happy with the altimax, mine were bought/installed from the dealer (company truck) so nokians were not an option, but they have been great.

Studding duratracs is a waste of $$. Tread compound is so soft the stud will pound deeper into the hole.

About 25000 kms on these. Still a few studs poking out. Never tried them without studs but I would recommend studding a Duratrac. Not really apples to apples comparison but my new toyo GSI 5 are amazing compared to a studded Duratrac.

3.5mm tire is okay in summer time. I wouldn't be driving any tire with that in the winter

I run Cooper STT's(285/17) all year on and off road. Seem to work and wear good for me... But I typically drive quite reasonably...

Wow. Doesn't look like there much studs left. Maybe I shouldn't waste my money on studs

I still think there worth it. Every little bit helps on the ice.

 

[Chrisco]

Glad you like the tires Niner!!!!! Studs rock only way to go if you can, unless you have a high end winter like a toyo or blizzak.

 

[cnelson6]

Anybody have any opinions on the nitto Exo grapplers? They look similar to the duratrac and I was told they are also stud able? Anybody try them?

Looks like Calgary every time it snows.
