I know you won't find them cheaper anywhere in Canada when Can Tire does their sale. I needed a new set last year after I ripped a tire open on broken pair of visescripts some donkey threw into the middle of the highway. When I got to Tirecraft the owner of the store flat out told me to go buy them at Can Tire and bring them back for an install. He said when Can Tire does their sale, no one can touch their price, his cost was $100 higher than what I bought them for.
True story!
Also, shoutout to Tirecraft in Stony Plain. Good guys and gals there.

I've taken the quote from Can Tire to Fountain Tire and they've matched the price. No Can Tire real close to me so easier to get stuff done at Fountain Tire.

Cool, they had a good deal on them about 3 weeks back that I missed. Last week they had a good deal on the BFG Ko2.
I have access to the national distributor through a friends work, CT beats the distributors cost buy a bunch.
I will check out CT tomorrow and see what my size costs. Thanks

We tend to be pretty close to CT sale prices on our Duratracs for the most part for AO members, but that only helps when you are close by (Calgary). You might be surprised when you check around, but you definitely need to be dealing with a preferred Goodyear supplier as those that just buy them middle man will have a tough time getting close to the sale costs.

3 for 4? That sounds like one of them new fangled marketing schemes.

I'm very impressed with tirebob's prices. I don't know Bob but I will bet that he needs the money more than the CEO of Canadian tire

He goes out of his way to answer questions regardless where they live even if unlikely he will get there business. Seems like one of the good guys.

Agreed.
Closer to an 18 hour round trip for me so that’s obviously out of the question but I do appreciate the information he gives out and it helped me decide on the Duratracs I just bought.
If I lived down Calgary way I wouldn’t hesitate to use him.

His prices are good and his service is great. I am in Edmonton but will be buying a set of summer tires from Bob in the spring based on his pricing and customer service.

Always been a big fan of Duratracs for anyone questioning whether they should get them. Arguably the best all-around tire on the market.

Canadian tire
Just returned from Manning crossing canadian tire, they are rotating the brands which are on sale, so not all brands are on sale at same time? The BF Goodrich sale ended yesterday but they still honoured the price. New All Terrain ko2s for this guy!!

I know it’s a little late to be adding to this thread... but i can’t exaggerate this quote enough.
If you’re close enough, go see Bob. Their AO prices are better than Canadian tire and fountain tire sale prices, phenomenal customer service and quick installation.
I saved about $100 over the best pricing Canadian tire and fountain tire could offer, and had my truck in within a day.
Go see Bob. You won’t be disappointed.

Agree with the positive comments on Tire Bob's service and prices. Four new KO2s on my truck yesterday. Had a great chat with him too. Less than an hour and I was out the door.

Why durotracs? Eveytime I see them on a truck that has seen a lot of gravel, they look beat to crap. Coopers, not so much. Don't know the max mileage on either tire though.

CT and Fountain tire are about the most expensive tire places going, do your homework and shop around. I bought my tires from a local garage not a chain and they beat CT and Fountain hands down. You should note that the 4/3 sale only applies to the most expensive tires they have and that CT tires are usually only 6 ply or standard load rating. Like I said do your home work, these are the last places I would ever buy a tire from. Check out the General Grabber ATx that is what i went with, most bang for your buck for a 20" rim.

Then give us a name where to go. Most people I know shop around before they buy. If CT is the cheapest for the exact tire why would you go elsewhere This thread was started for all that were looking for a good deal not to bash the poster. As always everyone has an opinion on what tire is better-not what the thread was about.

Gravel is very hard on tires....doesnt matter the brand.
Anything with a more aggressive ...softer tread is gonna get abused.
I havent found Duratracs to be any worse than any other tires.
They do tend to have deeper tread depth,and every tire Ive owned is very good the first winter of driving but definitely sufferes the second winter.
I usually get mine siped for the second winter and that helps.
Finding places that sipe tires.....thats the hard part.
