Price? 3 for 4? Any idea?

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.

I bought a set of 35x12.50 17’s at Fountain Tire 2 weeks ago and they matched the Canadian Tire Sale price.

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

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.
