Tires to Canada

[Guest]

Going to need a set of tires for my GS100 project bike.Does anybody know a supplier that ships reasonably to Canada? Thinking of trying Shinko's but not sure they even sell those here.
Thanks

The best deals I've heard off are from Pete's Superbike in Montreal http://www.petes-superbike.com/engli...superbike.html . A lot of the sportbike crowd on the GTA site (Toronto) swear by them. My buddy also just placed an order with them for some Metzlers for his Honda Pacific Coast (don't ask why anyone would ride one of those plastic barges). He reconed the price was at least 30% lower than local competition.

Careful with the postal strike situation as this might cause the shipping costs to go up if they need to ship UPS or whomever.

Can't you get anything locally?

Cheers,

Looked there,seems mostly radials.Have to do some more looking.Just getting ideas here.Haven't asked my tire guy here yet.Getting anything for the 750 was hard last year.

The people on my local forum like to order from here. They are based in Quebec so I don't know how that would affect their rates to you.
I haven't ordered yet, so no personal experience.

EDIT: You guys are fast...

I've seen non-radial Shinkos at local bike shops in The Okanagan Valley, so check around, should be available...

I don't know whether this is a good deal or not, but i just got a pair of Kendl's for my 750e for $150 from Modern. Also I have heard of people having their tires shipped to the Point Roberts Post Office.

Actually getting tires is probably going to be done in the spring.Seeing what's going on kind of deal.Being on the Island makes Point Roberts a PITA to get to.Think the postal strike should be done by then.Apperntly back to work legislation Monday.
