Default 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.

Default $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. BIGHANK

Try the Tire Rack - Canadian $$ is equal to the American $$ now.

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.

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 paid about $1160 shipped for Michelin run flats and they are great. Goodyear sucks.

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....
