canada / north america tire buy

Post by bobst2 »

if you have checked the new tire thread.you prob, figured out that it dosent look good for tires here in north america .i spoke to the canadian rep today. the problem he faces in getting us tires is the quanty he must order.
without a commitment from us to buy them. i dont think he can import them.i informed him of this site and our desire to buy tires. and will send him all the info to join us on this site and he was very happy to try to help us. so lets show him we are serious and post you info & qty you would like to buy and see if we can get this done.

i guess i will go first i will take two sets

sorry i havent chimed back in i could not not seem to connect to the site for the last week or so.
i have confirmed he can & will order us tires unfortunately he can not ship to the u.s. it is against his dealer agreement. but i can take possession here and re ship them to you. it will be expencive.i would guess at least a hundred dollars extra/set for freight & tax. it seems that i am the only one here in canada that has expressed intrest. we might think of trying the u.s. operation in tallahassey florida one last time before we order from here. as i have a u.s. shipping address also.do one of you want to make ths calls or should i.

i emailed golden tyre u.s. and got the same email back as listed in the new tire thread. i dont think there will be any saveings to buy them here and redirect them to the u.s. the shipping will be high and the duty in canada & the u.s. does not make it practical.

they said that they were collecting names in advance for a bulk shippment has anyone called them to find out the cost if we buy them that way? there 800 # does not work here in canada

I am in for a set.
I am also up for the 18 hour drive to Vancouver, B.C. to pick up as many sets as needed to be delivered south throughout the
I-5 corridor to the greater bay area, northern California. I'm not much worried about getting them across into Washington state.

Oof-ah...I've been away for a while.

A big thanks to bobst2; I haven't been able to contact anyone at GT Canada after their initial response to my inquiry.

I'm seriously considering co-piloting for fredskidoo if and when we can confirm a shipment to Canada.
Wish I'd bought the 990 years ago
