In our search for more sponsors for e46toronto.ca, Anthony & I would like your feedback on the tire distributors.
We're looking for reliability, great customer service, wide selection tire products, standard fair pricing etc. Basically, a business we can go to time & time again without hassles. Let us know who you did business with as well.
Please do not waste your time by posting a distributor if you wouldn't go back to them... Thank you in advance for your input.

Consider me as a first customer if you find someone good. I'll need 17' steel rims and winter tires somewhat soon!
I've had great luck with Tire Team here in Waterloo & Cambridge, though I don't know if they operate locations in the GTA. I've purchased 4 sets of tires over the last 4-5 years always at a significant discount (>$100 per set) to the "sponsored" guys from the last online club of which I was a member (Toronto Prelude Club). They've been very good about using only my lock-nuts for the appropriate lugs (a new guy went to use their "in-house" key, and was cuffed (gently) upside the head for just getting close to my car with it and given the "always use the customers tools" speech).
Each time, I have had to ask them to wrap some electrical tape around their keys (to avoid rim damage) and they obviously use power tools so I have to re-inspect everything with my torque wrench after (and they're generally within a few foot-pounds), but overall I've been quite happy.

The Honda Accord guys swear by them and some are running 18's there. I don't personally know someone there, but i know a friend of someone who works there who can inquire when you've picked one.
They're in Scarborough.

The owner is Colin Chung. But he rarely on store now but maybe on Sat. He is still the one who can make decision.
