Ordering Tires

[FJRottie]

Looking for info from anyone who has successfully ordered tires up from the US.

I know of M A W (thanks fossilrider) and Ayers.

Anyone used them or know of others that ship to us Canucks with little or no hassle??

A Canadian store - Zdeno Cycle (from Moosehead)

Give them a look/call if you like.

I am in conversation with them now about tire prices.

Standby for results.

If you insist that they are motorcycle parts, there is no duty.

In Canada, you might want to try Blackfoot Cycle in Calgary?

Ditto on Blackfoot, good prices, shipped by bus, cheap and easy. Lately the boys at the local shop have been using a sharper pencil and I have only paid about $25 more from them, and get them installed. Builds a relationship with the dealer's service staff. So far so good.

I bought tires for my Meanstreak last Aug from Dennis Kirk. *HUGE* cost savings. After calling around all over Canada for the best prices (they were all +/- $15) I went to the States for them.

After shipping, customs fees, taxes and everything I saved exactly $299. (I ordered two tires for the Streak and one for the Honda).

The costs savings on the back tire alone covered the cost of the front one!

Zdeno got back to me.

I asked for prices for 4 different tires, they responded with prices for 2.

Their prices with sales and discounts are not competitve with others.

I knew about Blackfoot.

Ron Ayers was the best option for me when all said and done.
