Go to the US. You can get the tires off Ebay for $104 each, and get them shipped to the border. If you can find a tire dealer on the US side that sells STA brand, get them brought up that way...same price. Or if you know someone going to the MVCC convention this summer, get them to pick them up from Wallace Wade. His prices are just as good, and he always has extra stock at the convention.
I believe there is a distributor in Montreal that brings in STA tires, but at 3 times the list price.

Summit Racing also sells Coker "Firestone" 7.00x16" NDCCs. These are what I put on my M151A2. I took Robs advice and had mine shipped to the Border and picked them up. 4 were a little over $550 including shipping. Can't beat that really.

When you say "shipped to the border", what are you using as a ship to address? I thought I heard of one guy using an UPS store for this in Niagara Falls or Buffalo USA.

For my purposes, there is a guy who has set up a business 3 miles on the other side of the border just to receive parcels and pallets for us Canadians. He charges $5 for the first parcel, $3 for each additional parcel, $10 if the parcel is over 50 pounds, or $20 if he has to use his forklift for it, with a max of 2000 pounds. When you compare with shipping the stuff up to Canada by any other means, there is often a savings of $100 on each parcel. It is great for ebay and Amazon purchases, as well as auto parts from some of the on-line distributors down there.
The guy I use was using his garage two years ago. Now he has put up a heated building, and even it is jammed to the corners. Many of the commercial importers around here of products like auto speed accessories are using his place as a regular drop-off. And since he is a business, I can get the commercial rates for the shipping in the US as well, vice the residential rates. These places are sprouting up at almost any border crossing as a result of online purchasing. Google for something at whatever crossing you use, and something will come up. Apparently some of the UPS stores will receive pallets of tires as well. Check with the Ottawa guys on that one: didn't they use UPS for those new chevron 10.50X16s a couple years ago?

Rob, You can get the STA tires from Markus and willys acres...I got my 600x16 from him and had em shipped down this way by Acadian lines bus route, little under 100.00 per tire about 3 years ago.
