Guys north of the border where do you buy your tires?
Any guys around the Edmonton or Calgary area where do you buy your tires from?? I just got a price on 2 rear tires for my 07 Z06 $1610.00
I asked the person behind the counter if there was any KY jelly included with them?They are orig goodyear run flats. Please PM me if you want.

I'm from Calgary and it's a frickin joke up here.. I would just go to discounttire.com and order some Nitto NT05's, you can get 4 of them for what you'd pay for the garbage GY's.. The CDN $ is rallying as of late and it will save you $100's.. They'll ship right to your door and they charge you duty on your order so there's no BS at customs..

On stock Z06 wheels you'd wanna run:
Nitto NT05's
335/30ZR19 = 773revs/mile
275/35ZR18 = 811revs/mile
I think these are should match up real close with the factory tires, double check though. There are several other thread's on here with guys who rave about this tire, check their threads to confirm what they are running.. GL

Tire Rack is the way to go.......even beats 1010 tire or Tire trends prices by a long shot. They have a deal with UPS that the brokerage is considerably cheaper....usually around $20 USD.

I would go the discount tire route. Prices are great and it is no hassle shipping to Canada. Nothing worse than having the UPS guy at the door with his hand out...

OK, obviously you are talking about our northern border 
Can't you order from Tire Rack, etc. and have the tires delivered to an installation facility in the States, then just pop down some day for lunch and have them installed? How are the officials at the border to know?
