Q for Canadian owners: do you buy your tire from the US?

The reason I ask is because the announced price on the net between, say, www.tirerack.com (USA) and www.tiretrends.com (Canada) is humongous.

For example the Pirelli Sottozero 225/60R18 is 181$ US (~213$ Can) on tirerack, and 285$ Can on tiretrend. A local dealer here in Montreal quoted me 287$ Can for these same tires. Should I just order straigth from tirerack, or is there some tax/duty fees that make the US order less attractive?

When ever I buy anything over the states, I ask them to ship it as a gift. So you dont have to pay the duty. But most of the time, i got family and friends on States side. Most online sites, will deliver free to the US.
Plus I live on a Native reserve, everything is Tax Free
