Member Contributer magicman Posted September 22, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2008 Looking for opinions on the best place to buy tires North of the border. Shipping tends to take the "great" out of most deals I can find. :rolleyes: Need a rear, and I suppose it would be smart to get a new front too, as it's at 24,000KM (BUT NOT TO THE WEAR BARS! PR :fing02: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 A lot of folks in eastern Canada swear by Petes Superbike outside Montreal, PQ. Tires shipped to your door at great prices. The web site is not the most friendly but their customer service is great. Check it out ... www.petes-superbike.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 They charge $20 to Ontario for shipping . If you are around Mississauga go to Riderschoice. I just installed Road Pilot 2s for $410 tax in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer auggius Posted June 9, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2009 Another satisfied customer from Pete's Superbike. PR2 for $360 COD via FedEx / Canada Post to my little town in the Kootenays. Only snafu was that they spelled my name wrong and with only a street address, Canada Post couldn't let me know that they had a package waiting for me. So I had to go in and ask for it after tracking it on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Tyke Posted June 9, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2009 I also recently ordered a set of PR2's from Pete's I think the shipping was either $20 or $30 out to Calgary, all in GST etc was $352, pretty good deal I thought and fast service too, if I remember correctly, I ordered them middle of the week and they were at my door waiting for me on Monday when I got home from work. Now to burn of the rest of my Stradas off and get them on before the summit ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Oddly enough, I emailed Pete's and asked them how much to ship a set of Michelin PR2's out to Alberta, and they mailed me back saying that "we do not ship tires". ???? :fing02: :fing02: Alberta Cycle in Edmonton has pretty good prices on tires.

Now to burn of the rest of my Stradas off and get them on before the summit ride. +1 for Pete's Superbike - had the identical deal done last week. Pricing was excellent, tires just beautiful and recent DOT manufacture dates (one 4006, one 0809). I wouldn't have minded some cardboard or packaging, but there was no damage... so must work out most of the time as it did for me. Dealer install is $100 in Edmonton... might be a better deal somewhere but I trust my guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
