    Thanks for the hint. Buying from the US is a definite possibility since I live in the Soo. I get stuff from eBay, Amazon, etc., shipped to Sault Ste Marie, Michigan all the time. There's even a Tire Rack service center there.

    If you go that way, careful on what you pick for tires. Sometimes they have some pretty mediocre performing stuff packaged with the wheels to be able to offer them at an attractive price. Many of them would be fine for street use, but a disappointment when pushed in an auto-x.

    Thanks for the heads up. I figured as much, so was already planning on buying wheels and tires separately. Tire selection so far has been whittled down to Mickey Thompson Street Comp, or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. I've heard a lot of good things about the Firestone and their prices are the best.

    A group of us from the Soo are going to the Mackinaw City Mustang Show in a couple weeks. I'm sure there'll be lots of S197s there with different wheel/tire combinations to get ideas from.

    Parkway Ford has very competitive pricing on tires. I am very pleased with the wheel and tire combo Ed set me up with for my CTS wagon. I also bought my track day tires from him. I don’t think that I could have done better for the money.
    My 2 cents.

    I appreciate the bump for Parkway. I don't doubt their competitive pricing. Unfortunately, I'm 8 hours away, measured either through Canada or the US.

    10-4. Thanks for the link. I'm 8 hrs away. Shipping costs in Canada are nuts. My guess is it would cost me $150 to $200 get those to me. I'll contact the seller tonight. Thanks again.

    Agreed, would love to fix you up with a package, but shipping costs put a dent in our competitiveness for pricing.


    My vote is for the Firestones … as I've said on here before, I strongly believe that they are currently the best value for a budget-friendly high performance tire. Great traction, great price.

    I have the Firestone’s - so far not disappointed one bit. I’d pick up a second set right now if I had some spare $$
    - great bang for your buck if u going through multiple sets of tires anyway-
