I shopped and shopped and shopped locally but couldn't get the math to work.

I purchased new boots from Tire Rack. Delivery was super fast, email contact with sales people was very responsive. Shipped to CBI USA for me to pick up. Even with the border hassle and finding a shop to mount the rims, I'm saving 33%.

what did you get Cliff ?

I have purchased all my tires at tirerack and never had an issue . I once even purchased a complete set of wheels from them and as far as I am concerned this is the best deal going , they install balance and I even got centre caps and just had them shipped to buffalo where i picked them up . They have amazing custmer service, and the guy even worked with me to find a local installer who would hold them for me knowing i would not install them there .

Worked out great .. That was a few years ago now and i need to replace my RE050s they came with .. how could i go anywhere else ..

BTW Jon did you get RE11 or RE 11a ?
