Tirerack now charges a flat-rate for custom, so no more random UPS brokerage charge, just a flat $30 fee. There is also a tariff on the tires if they weren't made in the US. So, GST + PST + $30 + tariff (several % I think).
Sometimes you can find tires crazy cheap on tirerack, so it's worth a look.
Don't get the Pirelli Snowsport unless you park the car when it snows. It's an amazing dry-biased winter tires, but horrible in snow.

Thread from another forum.
Mind you, that response was from three years ago, saying that the LM-22 was being phased out. It's still around...

Check fountain tire, kal tire.. those guys. Cant remember who sells what, should say on their websites.
I wasnt so lucky to get a deal.. I skidded into the dealer and drove out nicely.. LOL. Waited a few days too long... word of warning? Stockies on snow/ice...
and that is if you can get going even..

early_30's_crisis: Yeah I found that out the fun way this summer with a freak blizzard in jasper. The car was almost uncontrolable. Fortunatly that little run in is ensuring I get the tires I need well before the first snow

Found some LM-25's at a Kal Tire near me. They are "Take Backs" but the price is right, $1050 installed.
They are in "like new" condition so im hoping it pans out.
Anyone have experience or recommendations on "take backs"?
