Default Decently priced tires in Alberta?

Anyone know where I can get some tires for a good price?..

Actually I'm looking for one rear left Toyo T1R 285/30/19 as I busted one last year, and tirewarehouse is quoting me $513. I'm thinking I might have to order it off ebay, which are going for $282 and just eat the shipping and customs costs.

Any info would be great.

Thx.

Don't waste your money on tires in Edmonton, they are waaaay overpriced. Go to tirerack.com and get them shipped to a UPS depot at the Edmtonton International airport. This will save you a ton of money.

Give www.tiretrends.com in Maple Ridge, BC a shot as well --
They've always given me competitive pricing

1010tires.com

I have never dealt with them but they are located in Richmond, BC. I use them as an online barometer of Canadian prices then go to my local retailer.

they list your tire for $389CAN (edit - looks like tiretrends.com price is similiar - so a good indicator of what you should be paying locally)

I have never used 1010tires but I have heard good things about them from people that have used them. Buying tires locally is a rip off I got a quote on BFG drag radials it was $300 more than I bought them for on line...and the ones I got online were heat cycled.
