Hm Thats interesting.
I have to replace my tires rather sooner than later and read all tire
threads in the past weeks with great interest (sorry Benny I really did
;-)). I also thought about the Bus Depot Hankook ones, but taking them
to Canadian Tire and having them put on my rims might be quite expensive
compared to in store sale ones ....
Hm is there a Canadian Discount Tire possibility with Hankook RA08s or
similar performance tires that do everything at once?

Thanks
Thomas
