hey guys,

I see many posts here about getting winter tires so I'll share a resource with you. I'm from the TorontoMazda3.com forums and we have a group buy going on there with a company named Tires23 (www.tires23.com). They are based in the GTA (Mississauga) and a lot of members from TM3 have gotten their winter tires from them.


Check this thread out:

I personally got a set of Kumho KW17 16" tires and steelies and I'm really happy with the service and prices that Tires23 offers. I am not affiliated with them and if you check the thread above, you'll see that I'm a customer.

Here are some of their prices for 17" tires

Hope this is helpful.
