I've shipped tires to the states and had them put on there. It was worth it in my opinion to save the $200-$250. It would have been more but the cheapest place I could find right across the border charged $20USD\tire for balancing it still was worth it though. I was going into Niagara Falls anyway for a trip so it made it that much more rewarding.

if you ever need to ship something to the states ship it here:

http://www.usaddressinc.com/

they are literally 2 minutes from the queenston/lewiston (sp?) bridge.

Use your name followed by their address.

No need to sign up for anything or even tell them you're doing it.

Just track your package and once its there show them I.D., pay $5 USD for your package and leave.
