So the Bullitt's my daily driver and I will be driving it through the winter.
I've been pricing out some winter rubber and wheels and have narrowed my choice down to the Dunlop Winter Sport M3.
The local tire place will sell me 18" M3s at the 400 + mark. 17s for about 325. Wheels will top out the 200 mark. (note: canadian $)
I'm looking at www.tirerack.com and they will sell M3 for $223 each but they are selling a 17" package (wheels and tires) for a total price of $1140. Adding TPMS adds another $400. Shipping is about $230 but i"m not sure what if any duties would apply.
So if I buy 18s in Canada I'm looking at about 2400 + taxes. 17s will be 2100.
If I go to tire rack and get the 17 package I'm looking at 1370 plus taxes (no TPMS). That's a big difference. (currency conversion is not significant)
I have a few questions....
1. What's the word on tire rack? Are they reputable?
2. Will the 17s fit on the Bullitt? Is Tirerack's word good enough?
3. Do I need to install the TPMS?
Any help greatly appreciated and no I'm not going to park it over the winter.
