It was Kal Tire in Edmonton that put me onto Falken. Kal Tire has 5 stores in
Ontario, though none in Toronto. Best to hit www.falkentire.com and locate a
dealer nearest you.

I spoke with another local tire retailer that really caters to the hot rod
scene, and their extensive search turned up only the Cooper Cobra's. Other
options exist obviously, though limited, so it pays to ask around.

I checked several (4) online retailers and only onlinetires.com carried
Falken, but not that model.

  Well this is a bit frustrating, I would have ordered these tires if I could
have found someone to sell them to me. I called several shops in the Toronto
area and went to some online stores no one mentioned the Falken tires even
when I asked about them and other "tuner style" tires. I do have some exposure
to import stuff as I have a Maxima that I have put several upgrades on. I
bought the Sumitomo HTR 200's from Tire Trends, good price yes, buy had a long
chat with them about the use of car and what type it was. Even asked what
other tires would work is this type of application.? Seems like if its out of
the ordinary they don't want to bother, mind you that sounds like the whole
service industry anymore. I'll call them this am and have a chat, but the
HTR's are probably what will be on the car I should have phoned the
manufactors directly, the last set of TOYO's I had on a different car thats
what I had to do. Local dealers keep saying the tire was either not in the
book or did not exist. Just to lazy to use their brains and think and look.
Oh well sorry for the mornings rant....lol....cheers....and I'll do another
post about the tonneau.....ps...a positive one I think....phil
