As for tires, if they are not US made there is 6.1% duty.
Do you have a referance number or something that will prove I shouldn't pay duty on the wheels because some other people told me i will, I even called a border agent and she said I would. I know with border agents is that ask 10 different agents get 10 different answers.

I've been hearing stories about a car just like mine from Rubblebush? Ha!

sorry, can't help you here, I buy from Kal in SA
If you mean Kal tire, I buy from them too. My girlfriend works in the head office in Vernon so I get some pretty good deals.

On the way back I'm glad to pay my 13% on half price stuff. Also It pay for my Navy pension...

For the last 2 years, the gas at Sunoco has been steady at 75 cents a liter, so for my van fill-up, I save over $15 so like you said it pay for the trip.

They are a bit stingy at the Ogdensburg crossing, we were wave off a couple time when it was under $90. But at the Niagara Fall crossing we got wave all the time, once we had told them $450... Too busy I guess.

Except for day to day shopping, I'm done with shopping in Canada. Over price and they have no clue about Customer Service, so *&^%#@ them...
+1 for the shopping and customer service in Canada.
