GTA Tire Competition Display - rare - Canadian Tire

Tire Competition.

I've visited one of my local Canadian Tire store today in Richmond Hill, Silver Linden Drive.
(Richmond Hill is just a burb north of Toronto)

For those in this area, it's worth to drop in, as they have a great display that's rare to see in any tire shop nowadays. Most places want to push what they want, so you will never see these tires all at once.

They just recently had a 25% Sale, and they were pushing year end clearances. CTC is one of the biggest tire sellers here, apart from Costo, Kal tire, etc.

The following tires were on display (side by side) and it was a very good opportunity to see what the treads and quality differences are. It's a R51 dream scenario!

Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus
BF Goodrich TA KO2
BF Goodrich Long Trail TA
Michelin Defender LTX MS2
Michelin Cross Climate2
Falken Wildpeak AT3W
Falken Wildpeak AT Trail
Firestone Destination LE3
Firestone Destination AT
Yokohama Geolander AT G015
Cooper AT3 4S
General Tire / Canadian Tire branded Trek.
Good Year Duratrak

..there were many more, but they were winter tires.

It was a dream situation for me. Pretty much, this is the list of tires that I will want to consider, at the time of this blurb. You can squeeze the Charmin on the sidewalls as well - so you can get a sense of sidewall strengths, etc.

I thought for any folks in the GTA area, this is a rare treat.
Would be for those Frontier and Xterra owners as well.

LOL. I took MANY.

I didn't want to bury them in this thread so quick. I may have to go back and take even more to make it complete.
