here's a guy that i've used in the past for a couple things-really good guy-runs a small shop in the NE
We call him Tire Bob. He's given me the best prices on Toyo AT's i've found anywhere-including the states & any online web place.

don't know if it will beat mlucas guys' prices, but i bought my tires in sig from:

'country tire' in the NE

i paid $1100 everything in and driving way. i paid cash but i think he was expecting credit or some other payment. if i told him upfront i was paying cash i'm SURE he would have knocked some $$$ off.

free rotations/balances every 7500 km, free flat repairs.

Wink, Just I put on a set of Toyo M55 on my truck. so far, these are about the worst tires that I've put on the truck. I paid too much, so. They are very noisy, (louder than my engine and stereo). They are awful in mud/muck and I was told that they are not a decent winter tire. I was sold on the long life, they are suppose to last over the 100000km. I have to see that, before I believe. An added bonus is that my truck doesn't have to work to hard to do a burnout with them.

I just ordered a set of wheels, summer tires, winter tires for wifey's Acura & rv stuff (cover, fantastic fan, etc) from the U.S.
I'm having it shipped to my usual shipping outlet in Sweetgrass, Montana. www.Montanashipping.com

Pretty much 3 hours 1 way to get there, costs me a tank of fuel.
There is some risk, no real warranty on any of the stuff since so expensive to ship back, but the savings are significant on shipping & brokerage charges.
I will have to declare everything at the border & pay GST.

I plan on heading down to pick up this stuff around Sept 10-11. If anyone wants me to pic up something for them, I would be happy to.

I have delt with Montana Shipping Outlet before. All the details are on their website, they are very cheap, it's a no brainer.
