The dealer come back to me with 1032$+tx (Qc tx=14.95%) full kit tires+rims for GoodYear Ultragrip . From what I got is the best price for a "brand" name . They are a lot of generic "chinese" brands cheaper , but I'll stick with a brand name.

Thanks .

Are those steel rims and tires installed price? I am in the Toronto area and looking for Winters and the best I have seen is from Tirerack for $1300 shipped to my door mounted. no tire sensors though.

Yes, that is including tires + steel rims with installation on the car. No tire pression sensor . On my TL I don't have tire pression sensor also on my winter kit and it's just showing TPMS system error while starting the car , but by pressing OK is disapearing from the screen , but a "!" is on all the time but not other major issues. I had it like that 3 winters . I hope SF is doing something like that also. On the TL the only issue is because of TPMS error I cannot disengage the VSA during the winter...

I thought the Cdn SFs do not have a TPMS. So you don't need sensors.

Frankly, with the wheels, install and tax, that is not a bad deal.

Yes CataMtl, NO TPMS, I have my steel wheels installed and no error. Plus FYI my kit did cost me about 1200$ Tires and rims. Michelin Latitude X-ice2, Costco 138$ for the rims!

Thanks .
Because of convenience and quite good price I accepted the dealer offer and when the 2013 SF will arrive (they said about Nov 29th ... o boy it's hard to wait...) they will install them directly on the cay at delivery.
Just for my curiosity (maybe I'm wrong) , it's not mandatory to have TPMS on the new cars sold in Canada ? I remember to read something like that somewhere , but again maybe I'm wrong.

I think I will stick with a nice set of rims plus snow tires for $1300. Why should my wheels look boring with Steel rims when they can look good all year round for pretty much the same price. Im not saying steel rims are bad. Just saying that maybe you can still have nice rims on in the winter.
