    Just wanted to let all GTA guys know I've found a new tire guy that we can all use. The company is Simply Tire @ Dufferin/Finch. Dude's name is Allen. He's got a B6 Avant and is a VAG/German enthusiast. He'll definately help you out. Can get any tire, but carries Hankook and Falken's.

    Tell him Steve sent you!

    Here's the info:

    Re: Tire Guy

    Good to hear you're happy with Allen. I'm pretty sure there are many guys on here who have dealt with him in the past. I dealt with him a few months ago for a set of summers for me and a my bro bought a set of snows from him. I've been recommending him since ... funny thing is my name is Steve also.

    BTW, Avants rule

    For what its worth, I found a post of his from AW re: pricing on 235/40/18's:

    Falken RT615 - $820.00 installed
    Falken 912 - $590.00 installed

    Just email him or call him.

    Have them on my car and so far so good but very limited experience. They've been on for approx. 1 week and I only started pushing them the past couple of days. They seem to be a quality tire and are very reasonably priced. Aside from price, the reason I chose them was due to their very low weight (21 lbs) versus several others on my short list being 3+ lbs. heavier. One thing to mention though is that they are not as wide as some other 235's (likely part of the reason for their light weight).

    Re: Tire Guy

    LOL.. thanks guys....

    I'm allways pushing the Hankook Ventus K104's in both the 235-40-18, and 235-35-19 for our cars... for lots of reasons...

    1. They don't feather, like most tires do on our cars....
    2. They are super stick in wet AND dry...
    3. Wear very nicely and evenly....
    4. Decently priced compared to the big boys...

    The Falken 912 is more a quiet, calming tire... last forever, assymetric, awesome wet traction....

    Props to Allen (AHI) at Simply Tire.
    He installed my new tires - Hankook - today, smooth no problems.
    Highly recommended, and I will refer my friends and family
    Plus he has an amazing white AVANT - nice to support the Audi community

    Re: Tire Guy

    I dealt with Allen just before winter set in and he came through with a nice set of winter tires and rims. Knowing my wife was pregnant, he actually came out to deliver the package to me a day before the first big snow fall. I'll be calling you today for a set of 18. Awesome guy, highly recommended.

    +20 for a great guy...never seen anyone clean rims while installing new weights like that before. Truly cared about your investment in your "ish" as if it were his

    My boss bought rims from him as well and couldn't be happier

    Got the RS4 reps in with new tires. Pictures will follow next week when the project is complete. Awesome job Allen, you came through again, and most importantly, made the misses very happy, after all, it is her car right? ;) Remember to talk with your wife about what we talked about today. I'll call you on Friday.
