Anyone ever use them in the past? Experience - good/bad, etc....
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.do
They seem to have some really great pricing and for us Canadians it appears they pre pay the customs fees for us or at least work into the price of their quotes but even still, about 1/2 the cost of buying locally.
Any info anyone can share, that would be great, thanks!

No local vendors can beat their pricing? I've always gotten very decent pricing in the GTA, whether it be through Tires23, or two of my buddies that run constant tire GB's.

However, in this instance we are talking about roughly half the cost of purchasing local. Its true, I was astonished at the savings and looks I will for the first time ever buy cross border.
Tries 23 quoted me $800 taxes in out the door.
Online at discount its $480 shipped plus taxes (they pay the duties apparently) so savings are huge even I had to pay $150 in taxes and duties I'm still saving $170 + minus install and am I'm still up a $100+ in worse case scenario, plus tires23 is says the falkens are on back order right now, no idea when they will come in. warehouse is empty.
If you have a local contact that you think could get me 4 20" tires for $500ish let me know!

If it's for your Z, then you'd probably have to get someone else to drive along with you. See if you can turn it into a trip or something with a few friends/family.
