Run Flats
I'm in Edmonton (Canada Eh) I was wondering if it is cheaper to buy tires up there ( States) and have them sent here. I went to the GoodYear dealership and they gave me a price of about $620.00 a tire I said how much. Also is there a better tire out there that is priced well, I want to stay with the run flat.

I paid about $1300 fitted for a full set of Michelin AS ZPs. Streets ahead of the stock tires. BTW, my OEM RF that I had to buy after a flat was only $360. I'd check elsewhere.

$1200 road force balanced Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs
Got em at Discounttiredirect. $1108 with no charge UPS shipping.
The GM Stealership road force balanced them for $70 + 20 for tire disposal fees. Don't know if DTD will ship free to Canada. Get the Michelins...You won't be sorry.

Check with the Tire Rack. For runflats, I'd recommend Firestone Firehawks. Non-runflats you can choose from Goodyear GS-D3's, Firestone Wide Ovals, Michelin Pilot Sports, etc.

run flats
Can someone please direct me to a U.S. dealer that would send them up here. I have checked around here and even different Makers of run flats charge about the same. PS: I checked Costco they do not carry the Run Flats

I just put on a set of Michelin A/S ZP (Zero Pressure) at Costco for my '03 C5 coupe. $1348 out the door. The Costco techs were great. Tires are miles ahead of the Goodyears. They are also All Season....
