Default Tires in Ontario

Thanks Guys...another place for STA NDCC tires is Sylmar Tire in Hawksbury, Ont....they are $200.00/each with $45/each shipping....OUCH! If driving to Montreal on return Hawksbury is close for a pickup....just saying.

Many thanks for all the ideas for a spring tire purchase.

Also look at Universal Tire. They are good to work with on shipping options.

I found that there is not a whole lot of savings to be had buying them from the USA, shipping, duty, tax and your time. The only way it seems to get a bit of savings if you purchase them in the USA and bring them back yourself but of course this only works if you are already down there for an event.
Supporting local vendors is not such a bad choice imho.
Summit shows a price of $154, add the exchange rate of 1.32 and its $203.28 before shipping, duty, HST and any other associated costs including travel, gas etc

Default Do the math....

Summit ships free for $154...convert to 203 Cdn....there are no duty for tire for your own use, you pay HST ...donuts and fuel...... can you do that for the $180 charge by the Hawkesbury dealer.......

Last load we brought over was 22 tires for personal use.....cost split between 4 guys.....no duty only HST.

Good luck

$203CDN plus HST is roughly $230CDN. Guys do what you please but I fail to see the savings considering what ones time is worth plus the fuel cost.
No endorsement intended but I do believe at least one local dealer shows this size listed at $215CDN each plus HST ($242.95). Also, not sure where you guys ship to but the border points I use charge at least a handling fee to receive and hold a shipment thats at least $5 per piece.
To save $12 a tire how cheap can one be? You'll be in the hole at the end of day but to each their own .
Local MV dealers need our support too!

Hard to argue with a lot of that math. I had a quick look on ebay, and the other tire brand available is speedway. They are $105 USD each shipped to anywhere in the US. That makes the math a little more favorable.

Default I am cheap but can do math...

Hawkesbury quote of $200 does not include the same HST of 13%

shipping is still $180 Cdn

Rob's findings are even more attractive.
