Canada customs question pleas help!!!
I got some used wheels and tires from a forum member. He lives in Texas im in Toronto. The tires are michelin pilot sports. Canada customs inspected my items and said they wont release the tires because there from france and there used. What the hell is wrong with this story??

This link will take you to the Canada Border Services Agency site with info on tires.
Scroll down to appendix "A"
The following is copied from above link:
USED ON-ROAD
All types except truck tires
ORIGIN - USA
Tires must bear the U.S. DOT symbol on the sidewall of the tire (see Appendix B).
ORIGIN - Other countries
Not admissible. Deny entry.
Hope this helps.

I don't see how that could be a problem... Maybe you can go to the border, pick them up,, go to a garage in the US install them on the car and then drive back.. nothing to declare ..
