i got a nail in the tire first week of ownership!... took it to KALTIRE, and they did it for free... (free the first time).. i was soo relieved, and since then.. ive recommended KALTIRE to everyone that i know who has a flat... and you can watch the shop, throught the large window to see exactly what they are doing.

Tiretrends.com is Canadian, local (somewhere in Vancouver/Lower Mainland), and they have great prices and shipping. I don't know about the availability for the OEM tires. I've seen both Potenzas and Sport 8090s as stock tires; it depends on availability at the point of manufacture as to what gets fitted.
