Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

I'd rather drive over the border and buy them. You *could* avoid duties, depending on how many people you drive over with.  Grin

I shopped several tires vs. TireTrends, and found the savings about $10-15 on four tires.  Not worth it.  "Free" shipping is $160 in duties/taxes/handling to Canada.  The $40/tire "free shipping" adds up fast.

We bought our Michelin Pilot snow tires at Discount back in December. We saved almost 40% compared to local, Canadian pricing.

I must be missing some of the Canadian DNA.    It would not occur to me to shop across the border except for things that are just not available here retail.

The $160 "pre-paid Customs fee" can make local cheaper.

I'm looking to get 4 Falken ZE-912's and get an "out the door" (doesn't include mounting and balancing) price of $557 where as my local tire guy is quoting me $504 (again, does not include mounting and balancing).

Got my rim/tire package from wheelsnext.com, free shipping - delivered to my door price was $780 - rims, tires, spacers, locks nuts/with key, mouted, balanced.  The cheapest package I could find locally was $1000 taxes in.
Took my wife out to dinner with the money I saved.  Grin
