Hamilton's has a LOT of stuff....something like 400 wrecked volvos...which is awesome. However, their prices are really horrible. I called him looking for steelies to put snow tires on, and he quoted me $35CDN a piece! for old used rims! I could go to canadian tire and get brand new ones for 38 a piece. I have gone to Hamilton's a few times when I really needed something and couldn't get it anywhere else, but my suggestion would be to only use it as a last resort. They just charge way too much. I really can't understand how they stay in business sometimes. There must be a few old 240's kicking around in a graveyard somewhere close to you. good luck

'86 240DL, 260K miles, M46, K cam, 25/21mm sways, and an engine that got out of rehab today and is as good as ever!

An 86 with 240ks? lucky,... no my winter r15's are brand new should I run them down or sell them off rims and all for ($6) Can of course.!!

14's in front......?........15's in rear......? Not good combo !! Handeling becomes a nightmare in slick (winter) weather. Unless your a professional driver, living on the edge...I suggest you balance your tire size.

If you aren't putting snows ( same brand) on all four corners, at least have the same size wheel (14" or 15") on all four corners.

I live in snowy / icy VT and I have 185-65-15" studded Hanooks on all four corners. 99% of the time I have no major issues with my 245 in winter conditions. The 1% is another story......the battle of the hill (which I'm winning) !!!

Match them and take a bit of stress out of winter driving....
