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?

A friend of mine ..... ahem ......

A Canadian who lived close to the US Border, would wait till her tires were about worn to the limit.

She used to have the new tires shipped to a mail/parcel receiving outlet in the US near the border. $8US for receive and hold for 3 days

Then she would drive over, have a local US tire store install and balance and then drive back no GST or anything else.

I would never do that though ..................... :newangel:
