Re: Tyres Tyres

Re: Tyres Tyres

Do you mean Yokohama S-Drive? That's a very good tire. Do you get good prices on Japanese tires down there because of the proximity?

Re: Tyres Tyres

No such tire here. S- Drive: UHP summer, W-Drive: winter tire.
That's expensive equal to $138.00 USD. They're (S-Drive) $91.00 USD in the USA. Probably about $160.00 CAD here.
