Those looking for tires....Read!!!

https://www.onlinetires.com/index.php

For starters I bought four Federal SS-595 tires at the above link. From there I shipped them to a fellow named Mike in Niagara Falls U.S.A. All he does is tire installation with top of the line John Bean equipment for $75.00 to $80.00 cash, for 4 normal 16" tire's. I imagine it's a little more for fancier stuff but he'll give you prices on the phone. His numbers are:


716.745.1219 (office)

716.870.1945 (cell)


He lets you ship your tires to his address, and charges no holding fee. All you are responsible for is the shipping from your chosen online store in the States to his place. All totaled up I spent $447.00 U.S for four Tires, shipped, installed and balanced. Thats $447.00 total on the road. No taxes. If those Liberal jack offs want to play games with us and force feed us new taxes, then go ahead. I already purchase everything across the border and now more than ever. Thought i'd pass on this find to the rest of you. Mike is a really good guy, just give him a call to book an appointment and set-up your shipping. He's 10 minutes over the border.

Yes, I got a price of about $525.00 from tire world, but they were for some Chinese basic SAILUN tire. These Federals are really good tires and sharp looking. That and theres a variety of other tires online that no tire store up here can even come close too. This opens up a whole whack of tires at a fair price, and no taxes, no declaring.

Actually I called them before I went to the U.S. They don't have Federal anymore, no one up here does. They are made in Taiwan so might as well be China. I'm not knocking the Chinese tires, I just did want to put on a boring plain jane Tire when for less money I can get a Performance rated Tire that looks great too. Theres no competition up here. The Government has made it a point to destroy Canadian buissiness. My Friend had two Bridgestone RE760 tires purchased and installed up here for $680.00. Those exact same tires in the U.S, shipping, and installed out the Door come to $351.00 total! The numbers don't lie. I refuse to support this Socialist agenda up here. Every single part on my car, Oil included is from South of the Border. I called KAL Tire as well. Insane. Falcon tires were $151.00 installed, plus taxes. There are 3 taxes, well two now. H.S.T and a $5.30 environmental fee per tire. So the four tires would total $604.00 installed. On top of that they want $17.00 per tire to balance! so now we are at $672.00. Ad the green fee that Canadians are to stupid to see through and its $693.20. Now add to that Jack off's Tax and it totals $783.31. That exact combination in the U.S for 4 FALKEN ZIEX ZE-912 installed and on the road shipping and install included totals $452.15. Thats a $331.00 difference,

It's not just business that they're after - they're doing their best to destroy the country and its people - and they've probably succeeded.

Are you and I the only two who see this? These ill founded Green initiatives are nothing but a Tax grab on the weak and the stupid, and it's at my expense. It is said that you get the Government you deserve. Unfortunately I get it too. I'll do whatever I can to keep money out of there pockets. I filled my car up in Niagara Falls U.S from dead empty, I know this cause I ran out of gas right at the gas station Anyway it cost me $45.00 to fill on Premium. Why does that same tank cost $75.00 here? Save money people, take your money out of here until they smarten up.

Thats a bit of a deception. The shipping is free maybe, but theres a $160.00 Tarrif the the Government can shove up there A$$. Although depending on where you live it may be cheaper to take that hit. However if your in an hours proximety to the Border, it's better to cross over.

Then I guess.....Blame the Tariff on the Canadian government. Maybe they they just want to keep the Canadian $ in Canada? Charge a crazy fee on imports & its cheaper to pay a higher cost than pay the cheaper cost + te shipping international.

I completely blame the Canadian Government. This is there method to keep money in Canada? Punish it's citizens via dibilitating taxation? They really have no clue. This is a Government that has taxed industry out of buissiness, forced them to move operations overseas, then hammer us for purchasing something made there, because there simply is no other place to get the product from....amazing isn't it?

Re: Those looking for tires....Read!!!

A few years ago I priced the LT4 HOT cam kit from the US at $500.

Here it was $1,700 minus the TFBM dicount brought it to about $1,300.

I told the guy I could get it for $500 US and shipped to my door would be a good bit less than $700 all in.

He said he couldn't buy it from GM for $700.

And this enviro-green-schit that they've got now is just another opportunity for scammers.

LOL at all the schithole third world countries thinking we're going to buy carbon credits from them - what a fukin crock that is.
