I have a cousin that works at Fountain Tire and the best deal he could get me is a set of Dunlops for about $650, but he would have to ship them to Red Deer and it almost negates the savings.

A recommended set on that site, on wheels, is $725. That is totally affordable given that with the amount I drive a winter set can last me at least 4-5 years.

Any other smart places to shop you saviors and experts would suggest?
I got Blizzaks and they've been great, I also bought Pirelli Scorpions for my wife and they strangely havent been as good, but that may also be because her vehicle is larger, heavier and has a higher centre of gravity.

But yeah, delivered to your door ready to bolt on. So while its USD and delivery can be a bit steep you're also saving on the cost of installation.
