Default Any Listers in the Buffalo NY area.I need Tires

Hi fellow listers

I am looking for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport N1 rears only, and I cannot find them anywhere in Canada for a good price. I am around 1.5 hour drive from the NY buffalo and I was hoping one of the members could direct me to a good place to buy and install these tires. I was planning on driving down and just getting them done there Thanks for any tips.

I have looked into tirerack, only thing is Tires get hit HUGH with a duty fee, then I have to pay a brokerage fee and then 15% sales tax, I would much rather just drive down, makes a good excuse for a road trip!

Paul,
Dunn Tire in Buffalo can get you Michelin's. Give them a call, they'll special order them for you and they will match tirerack's prices.
Cheers,
Stan

You could always have the tirerack ship the tires to a fellow Rennlister in Buffalo.

Last time I was in Buffalo (10 years ago?) I had a great time. They had redone the area downtown and it was really nice. Buffalo: Talkin' Proud!
