Kal Tire did it. I ordered the tires through them. They were actually very good and took care of the wheels during installation. Mind you I was anal and reminded them over and over that those wheels were expensive. They were paranoid about taking out the center caps to balance..., no marks on the wheels though and the new rubber feels great.

I was surprised to see how bald my all seasons were though. 16 months and they were completely smooth on the insides..., This needed to be done for sure.

Thanks Mike will check the pressure today. Didn't drive it last night. Also need to check the torque on them to after about 100 km's.

I think I could have saved prob around $200.00 if I wanted to wait longer for the tires and purchase from an online US company but I really needed the tires bad. Tire Rack would have been about $200 cheaper and I think tire-easy was almost $300.00 cheaper, but I would have had to pay for installation which came to about $114.00 with balance and all that so I don't think it was worth it to wait.
