Well I just got floored cause I called a local place that does "Antique
Classic" sizes etc and they stated he could not get any. But did give me
the number of a tire place that specialized in classic tires. This time I
got a price of $174cdn and 8 weeks for delivery. That is simply for the
tires not including mounting.
That would make the total cost $870+taxes+mounting. Ugggg, talk about an
expensive proposition. The tires for the truck only cost $115cdn including
installation. I am glad I don't need them right now but I guess I will keep
on looking around. Anybody in Canada got any sources for these?
