has anyone on here from the maritimes ordered rims and or tires from tirerack? I'm just wondering how much duty they slap on the orders when they hit the canada/us border....

also, what are you supposed to do if you get shipped a bad tire? my buddy got tires for his civic one day and 3 of the 4 new tires were faulty, and the belts broke in 2 weeks. if you get a bad or defective tire from tirerack, what are you supposed to do? just suck it up and buy another? anyhow , just looking for some input.

Are you installing the 40's on the stock rims? If not, what is the width of your aftermarket rims? Just curious as I was debating purchasing the Potenza RE01-As or the Dunlop Z1's in that size.

The best tires I could get and still spend under $200 a tire were General Exclaim UHP. So far they have been great, I don't ride the car hard, so they do the trick... good in the rain and low noise.
