Yvette · 10-05-2007, 05:16 PM

how much is it cheaper than local?

GregL · 10-05-2007, 05:17 PM

Nice!! It was always the hidden fees that discouraged me.

CaptChaos · 10-05-2007, 07:19 PM

I just ordered as well with a $30 fee (wheels and tires). I'll let you know what happens but it sounds good.

Slke46 · 10-06-2007, 07:35 PM

$696 CDN, Shipped to just across the border in Point Roberts, WA. Then, add duty (if any) and the two taxes. That's what I'm paying for 18" Dunlops.

Best local price was $899 + taxes.

Oh, and there's also a $50 mail in rebate with Dunlop / Tire Rack going on right now, so the cost difference is even better!

Please do, I'd be interested to find out if UPS has changed thier policies. They used to be evil and not to be trusted...

I saw that as well but it looks like the rebate may be for the US only. I'm going to mail it in anyways and see what happens.

I've got a US address. Which is why it made the deal that much sweeter

Try Image In Motion or Advance Motorsports for a quote, price is about the same w/out any surprises from border or UPS

I believe they source out Tire Rack & Discount Tire from US

kick · 10-10-2007, 01:42 AM

If true, that's amazingly good. The last set of tires I ordered from the states saw $190 in fees from UPS. Not including shipping.
