Subject: Cdn source for Michelin Agilis

Hi gang,
I need new tires ---- we were coming back from camping on the weekend when
my left rear tire suffered a catastrophic blowout at 65mph on the QEW (an 8
lane divided hwy). Scared the something or other out of me. I got it to the
side of the road and put the crappy spare on. Had a brief bad moment when I
got to the 5th lug nut which was not the stock 19mm. My wife asked me what
was wrong --- I told her the wrench didn't fit that particular nut. She
asked if I had something that would fit. I rallied briefly and said -- you
forget who you're talking to. (She'll laugh at my tool buying/carrying habit
-- but will never discourage it). Found a 22mm wrench that did the trick ---
though the huge crescent wrench that I carry would have worked too.
I'm going for Michelin Agilis --- lots of good feedback etc. Can anyone
point me at a good Canadian source for these.
Stupid question --- what size do I need for stock rims on an 84 Westy. 61
185 R14C?
I'd also like to get a new set of rims --- mine are visibly dinted/out of
line etc. Anyone have a good source for these or a good used set?
Cheers,
Doug
