Re: question about tires

LOL, I was just going to post this very question.

I'm thinking about buying a set from Ebay.

The seller is willing to sell me a set of Ventus Sport K104 195/50R15 for 290 USD shipped... I'm still undecided because duties and brokerage fees are a bitch!
Learned that the hard way when I bought my rims from the states.

So does anyone know if 290 USD shipped is a good price?

Thats about $406cad @1.40 exchange. You can get a set of Kumho 712's for about the same price. These are the best tires for that price.

Look here www.tiretrends.com

I'm sorry, are you for, or against the Hankook tires?

Yes... BUT - if I bought from Tiretrends, I would still have to pay for shipping & TAX $$$

If I bought from Ebay, I'd only have to pay duties... I'm still learning the "tricks" to minimizing the duties... such as super-undeclaring the value of the goods, and getting the customs paperwork done ahead of time to negate brokerage fees...
