holy crap right???

 

Hey bro, I work for Discount tire and I know that those are no were near that much. The fronts are about $150 roughly, the rear are about $280 plus mounting and balance and stuff. With everything it shouldn't be more than $1,000 unless you get the free replacement warranty.

 

welcome to canada. ^^

 

I would say that seems about right about $2000. Kal tire is usually more expensive than smaller tire outfits. Try some online places and get US prices as buddy pointed out they are way cheaper than our Canadian prices.

 

i got my falken 452's installed by Discount tire here in teh states for 1100 total....255/35/20 and 285/30/20

 

Man you guys from the US are a little slow tires cost quite a bit more up here in snow land eh.

 

yup we n our igloo house n penguin pets....

G-Man wht tire size ur running????

I have 20x9/10
should i go 35 front?

 

I just picked mine up today same size for 1080 total (mounted balance blah blah blah)... But I guess I'm not in Canada

 

soo any locals have good deal....at local shops?

 

try Tires23? or GBTires.ca
both have very competitive pricing and both are located in Sauga.

 

Damn, prices up north are nearly double that of the states. What's stopping you guys from buying tires online from the states and having them ship up north? Is paying customs/taxes that expensive it isn't worth the try?

 

road trip to closes us dealer install and drive back

 

Nothing. There are considerations like currency exchange and the brokerage, taxes, possible duties, freight etc.

Prices on most things are higher but not nearly double.

I bought my my PS2's from US and saved roughly $600 all in- about 30%.

 

I've bought 2 full sets of Bridgestones (Blizzaks for the G, Dueler Revos for the wife's SUV) from Tirerack, both at significant savings.

 

That sounds a bit expensive
