I would commit to a set of five and would be prepared to make a deposit......

....but reflecting on the comments of Grant Bowker and readiiiiiing the fine print........

...importing tires in Canada made in a foreign coountry may be a problem....... however.... if the tires were available on USA soil and were installed on the vehicle at the time of driving back to Canada....even if on a CMP..... they are not subject to imposrt regualtion.

Therefore if you buy new Denman's bar thread NDT tires at a military show...but were made in Mexico..... you could be in trouble but if installed on the vehicle including the spare they are not subject to the import regulation.

Sure would like to hear the explanation for that from the Pub(l)ic Servant that wrote the regulation.

For us in Canada is to find a dealer in the states that can import a load..... then trailer a CMP across the border and have the tires made i CHina installed and bring it back......


The nagging issue that grinds in the back of my mind is....... what would happen in the case of a blow out at a parade where the CMP rolls into the crowd and crushes an innocent bystander...... what happens to the owner when some sharp investigator fails to find approve embossing of national DOT marking on the sidewall of the tire...........

..... in case of accident with unapproved tires.....
....................immediately set vehicle on fire ....
