Last wednesday I did a 300 KM circuit in rural Alberta, when I arrived home I checked levels, and tire pressures. Low and behold the insides tread on both rears where showing the stainless belts. I spent thursday searching for stock tires, lots of frustration, finally I went to my dealership and they came up with Pirelli Rosso's, a little research and I discovered that they are summer use only and I was looking for A/S. Several phone calls and a trip to the dealership resulted in Michelin pilot sports A/S being ordered for delivery and installation on friday. Friday no tires,holiday weekend no tires, Tuesday, yup no tires, Today tires.and a phone call!!! "Sorry our tire machine can't handle the low profile, we have to send it out to a tire shop, should be ready for pick up tomorrow PM". Moral of this story is, if you live in a remote part of the world buy your tires and find some one to mount and balance them several weeks in advance of needing them!!! Greater Edmonton has a population of over 1 million and I did not expect a problem like this to arise.
