Discount tire ships free to Canada too! And charge $160 for all fees (taxes, duties, brokerage fees) That's a pretty good deal. I'm probably doin that haha.

I bought 555's off discount tire last year. I got a call from them because I originally had them shipping to my house. They said that nitto tires no long ship to Canada. Dont know if its true or not but I had them ship to pembina. I think it was just over 700

still slipping in second, no big surprise there
Tread wear is quite good, much better than the stock conti
Tread pattern looks good I think

All in all I'm quite happy , if you want something more sticky then you have to sacrifice tread life. 555's are a good compromise as far as I can tell
