What I mean is Speedstar will match the prices at Tirerack (that's the case with me and my winter tires), and I'm sure they can get whatever you want to buy...

I've had a VERY hard time finding local retailers selling Vredestein tires!! Lets hope these guys can get it

for a set of 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 they run about $740 plus shipping down south but i was able to find one shop (not local) who said they could do 850CAD shipped, but i dont know if that offer still stands

How are the Vreds? There was a review that said it is compariable with the PS2, which I find hard to believe.

Someone did a review in this forum of the Vreds, and the review is quite positive.

Problem with the tire is if they are hard to find, if you have something wrong with them, you will have to wait to get it fixed.

Customs doesn't bother with exchange rates usually, so if the tires are about $750, you're looking at $150 (5% GST, 8% PST, 7% duty) and about $50 to $60 in UPS brokerage fees.

i recently found some Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 225/35/19 & 265/30/19 for $858 USD shipped from Discount tire direct, that is with all duty fees, no surprise at your door kind of pricing.

anyone know if this tire can compare?

I've read some really good reviews about this tire in comparison to PS2 tires.....i'd probably want to get either this or the Vred's

another good read
