Help me find 18" M3 winter tires in Quebec or Ontario

[yul sam]

I have been trying to find a set of 18" Nokian or Michelin winter tires, but they seem to be out of stock with no new deliveries coming soon. I've tried Canadian Tire, Kaltire, Costco, and my usual independent Montreal garage. Even Tire Rack in the Us is out of stock.
With the December 15 deadline for winter tires in Quebec fast approaching, I decided to widen the search to different brands, but 235/45/18 is nowhere to be found. I think that the 125K model 3's that Tesla added to the north American market has totally exhausted the existing stock.
If you know of a shop that still has available tires, please pm me. Thanks.

Move up a weight class and use 245/40/18.

Or move down to a 225/50/18.

You are closer with 225/45/18 than with 225/50/18.

I had to go with X-Ice3 225/45/18 myself...

I was having a hard time finding tires for my nephew's Civic (18") but Ordered him X-Ice 3's from 1010 Tires online. Might want to give them a try.

If you don't mind purchasing them online, I'd suggest going with PMCTire as well. I have purchased through them multiple times. It looks like they have X-Ice in stock too.

search your nearby store and call them for inventory. Don't rely on online in stock information. Pay for them, bring them home and then take them back for your install App. It looks like Gatineau branch has 4 left if you dont mind the drive.I hope it helps

Agreed, go with 225/45/18 and I found R3's in Whitby at Kal Tire, so suspect any Kal Tire can get them in that size. You get a pretty good discount there for TOCO as well. The narrower tire will marginally help with grip in snow too.
