Hello my fellow MINI owners, I need some new rubber and was wondering if anyone might have a hookup. Now im not trying to sound cheap but 19" rubber is expensive and well my last set only lasted 18,000km or so.

I can source four sets of 17's, but no 19's. You are among an elite group! But have you checked out the pricing on TireRack ?

Don't both with tire rack IMO. Check Tiretrends.ca out of Vancouver,
Speedtech has a toyo/falken sale on right now. CMS always has good deals also.

And when in doubt go to tunerworks. They should be able to beat everyone's prices...

Great tiretrends is a great website, didnt even know about it! Currently they got a good price on some Hankooks, under $800 with gst and shipping for a set of 4. I thought for sure I would be spending more then $1000.

Even a set of Dunlop SP Sport FM901 for $920, not too bad.

Leaning towards the Hankooks as they have a higher treadwear, im sure ill need it

Not sure about not checking with TireRack - my set-up was $1454 CDN, inc. freight but plus GST and that friggin' brokerage. From Tiretrend, the same set-up would have been $1675 CDN, inc. freight but plus GST. Still a few bucks to the good, and the Rack had everything in stock whereas Trend did not.

Mytires.ca in NE has really good prices, he'll be willing to beat all local tire shop prices. However last time I check he didn't have a road force balancing machine, I think 19" definitely deserves the best balancing machine avaliable.

As for Tirerack vs Tiretrends, I think the prices would work out to be pretty similar, since you'll have to pay brokerage fees importing from the US.

It is tiretrends.com (not .ca) by the way
