Default Looking for Continental Extremecontact Force

Are these tires not available in Canada? I've been trying to find a retailer that sells these but everyone I talk to tells me these don't exists.

I saw that... I don't get how they have them but no retailers in Ontario seem to have them.

Perry Auto has some exclusive rights on tires...
Them and Pneus Touchette are the only local outfits you can order Hoosiers from in the Montreal area.

Cheers

Does tire rack sell them? I’ve bought from TR with no problems a couple of times.

Asked my tire guy, he’ll call Continental this morn to see if they are selling these into Canada this year.

What vehicle/size in case he asks?

Oh awesome... appreciate that. I'm looking for 245/40/18 and 275/35/18.

I think they do, was unsure if the shipping/brokerage fees would make ordering from TR cost prohibitive.

“Okay, Continental Canada doesn’t bring that Tire in so if he wants them, he’ll have to buy them from whoever has them in the States”…

wonder if warranty is an issue if you bring them over?

A friend of mine used to buy tires from TireRack when the exchange rate was on par and there was a time when warranty was required. He had to go back to the US to claim. You just can't tell them you were in Canada.

Appreciate you checking... I guess Continental doesn't want my money. That's fine...

I doubt any track tire I buy is going to live long enough for me to get a warranty claim
