When the border is open, I have had some great deals on tires out of the US, with reasonable shipping. I have reccomended them before on this site, and will do so again: Feltz tire. I have always got more than my moneys worth from them.
Bob: All kidding aside, militarytire.ca screwed you. Did they offer any discount, refund or apology? If the tires took the MLU express back to Toronto, would they refund? Of course, they will likely not refund you the shipping. An honest dealer would. Or an honest dealer might have sent photos before shipping for approval. Anybody who googles their name will likely get a link to this thread. I have to disagree with Chris about "I doubt the second tire would have passed inspection". That tire would not even pass for a spare. I would suggest farm use only.

More than one in five customers are unhappy and there are no returns but "shop with confidence". If you went to their yard I wonder if they'd let you pick out your own tires before giving them your VISA card.

Beware : The Michelin Military tires ( tyres for our over the pond friends ) they are currently peddling on Ebay as XZL tires are 8.25 X 16 NOT 9 x 16 like we need on the CMP’s and LSVW . I almost got caught . What vehicle would these fit on anyone ?

Those are the tires from the G-wagon. Michelin advised the DND about 3 years ago or so that they were going to quit producing them, so the DND changed all the tires and rims on the G-wagons over to a Wrangler instead. Units usually did it on mass. Here in Shilo, one of the units offered all their tires to the museum, which we took. Otherwise, supply was going to make them tear them all down in order to turn in as scrap metal and scrap rubber. I had already used this size on a few of the vehicles at the museum.
They are a very heavy duty tire, and the bead is fairly tight on them. But they look good, although a little smallish on the CMPs. They are perfect for limbers and HUPs, and we also have a set on the Dodge M37 at work. They do not look balloonish like the LSVW tires. They were also showing up on CADC out of Toronto, being sold on pallets of 4 or 5. They were fetching from 500 a set up t around $1500 a set. The odd one might even have a runflat in them.
