Tires
Hi Eric....yup....Sylmar went from $200/tire (700x16) NDT or NDCC (6 months ago)to $255/tire as quoted me last week.
In 2016 I got royally screwed by Willy's Acres and will not deal with them even though they are only a 25 minute drive from my house. For local jeep parts I deal with Brian Asbury (Acton, Ontario) or Ralph Journeay (Niagara Military Parts).
Posters on this site have turned me onto Huron Tire east of London, Ont. They sent me an estimate for (2) 700x16 NDCC tires for $216.00/each.....best deal yet in Canada.....however, also on this post several members like Bob Carriere can import tires from the US....you do the online purchase from several suppliers that sell the above tires for $130 to $154 US/tire...you just have to figure out if it works for you after the exchange....Bob is in Eastern Ontario near Sylmar Tire.
I got lucky....a few days ago my in laws in New Brunswick saw an ad in a local buy and sell magazine for 3 brand new (still had the stickers on the tires)STA NDCC 700x16 tires for dirt cheap so they bought them for me.....now I just have to drive to NB to pick them up. I am still however looking at 2 to 5 more tires myself as spares and Huron Tire of Bobs offer looks to be the best.
Best of luck.
