Where to Buy R-Compounds ?

I'm looking to buy a set of Michelin Pilot Cups for the track. Can anyone recommend a shop in Canada who has good prices on these tires, or is it still cheaper to order from Tirerack out of the States.

I realize Canada is big, I have no problem having the tires shipped. I just hate paying all the duties when I ship from the States. I live about about 30 minutes west of Toronto.

With the dollar at par, no place in Canada will have better prices then in the States!! Take a drive to Buffalo for a weekend, and have Tire Rack ship the tires to a shop in Buffalo!!

I highly doubt that prices around here will be less than in the States!! If you have them shipped and pay taxes/ duties it may be close, but not the same.

I did the "buy Canadian" thing, but with the big price differences that I see from parts to vehicles I will go to the cheaper place, maybe that will wake up local shops to be more competative with their prices.

Call me, I'll be happy to quote you.

We ship into Canada daily and use UPS as the shipper. Delivery is usually 3-5 days. Since The Tire Rack quotes all brokerage, freight, and duties at the time of the sale, when your product shows up to you do not have to pay any other fees. Plus, we usually have what you need in stock.

I would have never thought to look there, I'll give them a call to see how their prices are.
