The shipping price from tire rack includes all fees. UPS wont come to your door and hold your tires ransom for extra fees.

The shipping cost is incredibly reasonable actually. It's usually around the $150 mark. You can drive to Buffalo, but you'd actually be losing money in this case
(Shipping to Buffalo $70, Gas, Storage Fees per Tire, Taxes coming back)

Hey Alex - give Bramalea Tire a try. I've always found their prices to be very reasonable.

Tires23 is great. You have to remember that the US has far different pricing than Canada, and sometimes a Canadian tire shop's COST up here will be the same as Tirerack. Less volume sold in Canada = higher costs for tires. Period. I would encourage you to spend the extra $20-30 per tire to support Canadian industry.

I already went there got my first pair of tires from them used cause they said it would take them 2-3 weeks to get the falkens in and i just didnt feel like waiting that long wanted to put my rims on the car asap. when i first looked at the tires do they seemed fine but i only looked at the thread not noticing the uneven thering in the front, and the rears they told me were 275 35 19, but after i realized they were 275 30 19 so it just looks stupid, anyway they dont want to give me the full refund and said they can get me needles for saturday for 1100, but i have no clue what brand that is so i am just goin to do more shopping around unless you can tell me if those tires r any good lol. I just have to stop rushing everything that i do lol.
also bramalea tire is only open until 5 and thats when i get of work right

Perhaps they meant Nittos rather than Needles.

Nittos are a very good tire.
