Default Best place to buy tires in Canada?

Anyone found a great place (low price) to buy performance tires for your corvette in Canada?
I am thinking of a trip to the US and replacing them there if I can't find a good deal here.

I can get a set of Pilot Sport Cup 2's for $1000 less in Spokane WA, installed. So even with the duty of $252, it's way cheaper. Road trip!!

Call Burning Rubber Tire and Speed in Oakville.

Speak to Chris, his prices are the best and he road force balances the tires on the wheels.

His website is burning-rubber.ca

The only place I call when I am shopping for tires is Simply Tire: http://simplytire.com

No affiliation with the shop, just a very happy long term customer.

QuattroTires.com or Costco

The trick to to find a decent place to mount them, the low profile tires are a challenge to mount

Apart from that there is More than Tires in Carlisle if you go to Corvettes of Carlisle. They are really good and have a great facility... i believe they said that 75% of their customers are from Canada...

the other thing is to order them from discount tire and have them delivered to a US location, have a trip down there and make a weekend out of it. By the time you get done with the exchange rates, you will have saved a few hundred bucks, hardly worth it for a run down there just for tires.

When you know the right people - Can Tire. , they can get almost any tire brand, have the best tire install machines, latest roadforce balancers and boy if you knew the markup on tires 😁. Again, need the right connection

I second this. Top-of-the-line equipment and they how to use it. He beat the pants off every tire price by a ton. You can also trust them as they are no strangers to working on nice cars. They also all race and are car guys themselves.

I'm going to need to replace my PSS's soon. Good info, I'll probably give them a try.

I tried Costco, but they don't carry Z06 sizes . I'll likely go with Quattro or take a trip to Spokane WA.

Ask your dealer if they price match. Most will. I got new rear tires for my GS at a US dealer before brining it back from Arizona a couple weeks ago. They matched Discount tire and had the proper equipment to install and balance the tires.
