Can't you justify a little trip across the border? At this exchange rate you'll be laughing... and have enough money left over for another mod!

Never thought of that. We are even Nexus folk.
Where's a good place?

I'd say check tirerack.com or other big names, order them on line and get them delivered to a place like Hagens of Blaine who will hold them for you for a minimal fee (like $5-10) then once they call you go pick them up and Bob's your uncle.

Oh, and I forgot to add...

If you buy tires in the States that were made in Canada (like my Bridgestone Destination M/T) you don't have to pay any duties... :-D This is one F*%@ed up gig 'cause my tires were about $200 cdn locally but I only paid $140 cdn in the States which means even after transport South the States managed to sell them almost 40% cheaper than where they were produced :shock: I hate those games.

I am actually on TireRack right now, checking out the tires I have on (KUMHO Road Venture AT KL78).

The reviews aren't bad and it sounds like they are kinda soft, which I want for the ice.

TireRack is amazing!

Thanks
