This guy is relentless..... He says he wants a "Fair price" but yet new they are like $1200-1300. The amount of money he thinks he will save with spending 2 years begging for them is blowing my mind....how

 

Cochrane toyota had them on sale a few weeks back i believe. He should have got them then.

 

I could offer him mine for $3000, trail proven, scratches included, plus $$ for my gas to make those scratches, and traveling from the Valley... I'mma be rich bitches!!!

 

He actually has 9 posts on kijiji. I wouldnt put that much effort in to get those rims for free

 

Hello Nova Scotians
Just moved into the neighbourhood (Halifax). Picked a 2016 Tacoma. Came for a couple of years which hopefully include long trips.
Can you recommend on a descent, reliable, and reasonably priced dealer for winter tires and wheels?
(No TRD / Pro / fancy wheels needed or wanted)
Thanks
Tom

 

Hi there, welcome to Nova Scotia and to the forum!

Depending on the kind of driving you will do, Canadian Tire or Costco might be good choices, especially if you are looking to stick with stock size and on-road use (like most normal people). There may be cheaper options yet, but for my Corolla I pretty much just watch for sales at Canadian Tire. For my truck, I have gone deranged and convinced myself that I need larger tires, which means different rims... that makes it all more complicated!

Congratulations on the awesome new truck.

 

Myself I just went to a cheap place in Sackville (tire guy was the last one I used) and you can usually get a set of rims and tires for about 900-1000 tax in or less. They will last you years. Mine are going on winter #5 right now

 

Use the tire size calculator on here to know what size you want. You usually have to go 17" for winters

 

Take a tour through the used tire section on kijiji if you need a budget friendly option http://www.kijiji.ca/b-nova-scotia/265/70/17/k0l9002

 

Hey, its your local I only post every three months.... hello everybody!!! so anyone by chance have 17inch offset 6 bolts they want to part with or trade for my 16 inch koenig countersteers. with Goodyear MTRS 315/75/16s I want to switch to 17s for when i buy new tires want to get bigger and 17s are easier for that. Willing to trade sets even if there are smaller tires on your 17s!

 

ps yes thats kirks head...

 

I thought you were planning on selling your truck?

 

Yeah i acutally had it sold then went to the bank to finalize the deal, but it didnt work because of previous loan stipulations.. got really fucked on that one....

 

Oh, that's absolute garbage! Sorry to hear it didn't work out!

 

A good place to go for tires is The Tire Man in Upper Sackville. I got my winters (285 75 16 Cooper Discovery M+S) for a little over 300 dollars cheaper than CTC.

As for rims I would look around Kijiji for some 16 or 17's in a 6x5.5. preferably Toyota rims though, then there's no reason to worry about hub size.

 

Need something more for towing and hauling my ATV but I just couldnt give away my truck I love it too much. So Im going to get this. Should do the trick for a reasonable price. 8.1 will drink gas though

 

8.1 LOL that's a massive engine! It's gas and not diesel?

 

Yeah, it can probably haul the 4 wheeler okay!

 

What are you doing up at these wee hours of the morning?
