IF you are looking for BFG's try your local COSTCO!! No kidding, they are the cheapest around and free rotaions. They stock a few sizes but can get any size of BFG you need!

I was actually thinking about that as well with the new BFG KM2's. I will be heading to Costco in the next few weeks and I will have to price them out.

And people wonder why there isnt any good shops in Canada. This is why. Go ahead, buy all your junk online, and when you got trouble with it. Ship it back. Instead of buying down the street and supporting our local economy.
Flea-bay is the reason for anything local not to survive. Its still not worth it to me to go through all the hassle of online ordering.
BTW.. I got a set of 39.5x17 SS IROKS for $306 per tire last summer from a local shop. Brand new. I get those types of deals BECAUSE i shop locally.

OUCH!!!!
I got quoted $450/tire for Toyo M/T's 33x12.5R18's at my local tire dealer.
I am thinking of heading down south with my vehicle on my old Toyo M/T's into Washington State, Idaho or Montana and getting them to swap them out and drive back on new rubber to skip on the duties. However, with the current exchange rate....I am not sure if it is worth it yet. But damn $450/tire, plus balancing, mounting, taxes....I am looking at over $2G's for 4 tires.....JUST BRUTAL.

I gave up awhile ago looking in Canada, Alberta specific. I went online, to ebay no less and found 35 x 12.5 x 18 Nitto mud grapplers shipped to my door for 260$ a piece, shipping incl. Cheapest I found in Edmonton was over 400$ per..retarded...no one would even budge a dime on there tires.

Exactly. I hear you. Edmonton here as well. Got the same run around. Right now I'm sitting on my 33"FirestoneDestinations for a total in of 1300.00 all in ...granted that was when the dollar was doing ALOT better, situation may be different now deal wise ?? But I often wonder if all the 'oil' money floating around here helped contribute to the inflated prices, I know alot of other guys that head up north that buy their tires locally and don't give a damn what they pay cause they got the dough...not all but I'm sure you've seen the same, I unfortunately am not made of money

yeah no shops will budge a penny on there prices either it is getting rediculous, I am in the same boat on looking for two full sets of tires and a set of rims and still noone will make me a deal, it is going to be almost 2000 just for my jk and thats without the rims I wanted... what a joke.
I will keep searching the internet until I find the deal I am looking for.... it is unfortunate that pro comp stopped there 4 for 3 sale I got a set of 35x16 XTerrains for my pick up for $1200 installed.
Too bad I cant get that deal again
