Which tire to buy?

[BAN ONE]

Looks like Nitto 555 still might be my best choice. I checked Discount Tire and since I live in Canada, they appear to have the best price. Best of all, they accept Paypal which already has enough funds in it for the new rubber. Now I find they don't ship Nitto to Canada...agreement made with tire dealers up here .

I found another place...Onlinetires.com but they don't fair well with the BBB. They are a bit more expensive..but still alot cheaper than here.

Tires locally for 285/40 -17" are $280,
Discount Tire $157 (free shipping)
Online Tire $118.77 (plus about $50 shipping per tire).

Why can't this be easy

HOw close are you to the border. I live in Hamilton, Ontario and buy all my tires and a lot of other car goodies from the US and have them shipped to my buddy's place in Niagara Falls, NY. It is worth the drive.

I am 2 hours away from Niagara Falls. Question ...what do you tell customs when you go to pick them up...tires are pretty hard to hide when crossing the border....if you are just picking them up and not installing them there.
