where to get winter wheel & tire package in Canada?

Just got back from holiday and im surprised by the heavy snow in downtown Vancouver. I need to change my Cayenne's stock 21" wheels to 19" wheels with snow tires. I called my local Porsche dealer and the winter packages they have are too expensive. I think buying elsewhere would be a better idea. Any Canadians here who would know where to get 19 inch winter wheel and tire package for my Cayenne? (a shop or online is fine) Please point me to the right direction. Any lead would be appreciated!

P.S. most of the posts here are US related, dunno if it would be better to buy from the US?

easier to just order from Damon.

I found that wheels and tires package are usually quite a bit more expensive in Canada, and the selection is poor.

also I will recommend 18 inches setup instead of 19.

Thanks for the reply Tim. Since I stay/drive mostly in downtown I think the 19s would be fine

I ordered Victor Equipment Lemans in 19" from 1010tires, Nokian WRG2 SUV from Kal Tire, and the OEM TPMS from MCL. Kal Tire did the balancing/mounting. Works great on my GTS! Haven't been stuck or even heard a wheel spin yet (touch wood).

Good luck with your search.
