Also, TireRack will ship to Canada. It's via UPS so you may get stuck
paying their brokerage charges, but it might be worth looking into. You
should be able to contact UPS ahead of time (as it says on the TireRack web
site) to find out how much they will charge. Even with the added charge,
the resulting price may not be too bad. Or, you might be able to find a
friend stateside who would be willing to reship the tires via a more
reasonable carrier ...

Also, if you are buying new wheels, I had Tire Rack ship the tires I bought
directly to the wheel supplier (British Wire Wheel) where they mounted and
balanced them. Then they shipped the whole shebang to me ready to put on the
car.
FedEx Ground is my preferred method of shipping and most shippers will use
them if you ask. I do have an FI however as much of my 401K is with FedEx.
