Looking for a tire...

If you haven't already, check the postings and set up an alert on Kijiji - I sold my last set of performance tire take-offs on there, and the tire traffic looked to be pretty brisk.

I'm too desperate. I ended up buying on tirerack.com but the shipping + brokerage fees will probably push it past $500 CDN

Kijiji's the best bet but if you don't have any luck with finding take-offs, I can get you a new rear Pilot Sport for $399+tax

$545 all in for one tire

Pilot Sport 4 (not 4S) ? You have it on hand?

I can't find listing for just a regular p/s 4 only a 4S, it would take me a day to pull it from Calgary

Michelin doesn't appear to have a regular "4" Can't post a link but serach up 255/35R19 on michelin.ca and the factory tires are 4S's

I don’t doubt you but my car has the 4 not 4S.

Upon making some calls to the tire supplier I've did manage to track down a regular 4 OE spec Stinger/Genesis tire $395+tax 1 from Calagary

You may want to check around a little more with Canadian suppliers before going ahead with the TireRack order. I just did a couple of quick checks with Costo.ca and Canadian Tire looking up the Kia Stinger Limited AWD, with a Michelin brand filter - didn't bother searching online discount suppliers. Costco was 389.99, CTire was 371.99. May be available elsewhere cheaper, but make sure you include mounting and balancing - Costco is pretty hard to beat on that, and it comes with their excellent road hazard warranty.

Some additional info on the 4 vs. 4S confusion - highlighting mine.

You'll notice that it says 'special order'... I checked most of the big names and they are all special order. Fountain Tire contacted Michelin Canada for me and they are a minimum of 8 weeks out. I can definitely find a better price but not if I want to be driving on it anytime soon!

However, I do really appreciate your digging on my behalf!

I was curious as to CAD pricing on them myself, especially after seeing your TireRack quote. Good luck on finding what you need ...

Ends up being around the same for the tire itself but shipping and brokerage kills it. But I had little choice and bought it anyway.
