suppose to be around 20% tax + duties. If they're lazy and don't go find out these tires are made in Korea, it'll be just 14% for you.

OK tire or PDM Racing can get them for you in Canada. You should ask this on vcmc.ca forum.

What size are you getting? 225 F and 265R?

yeah, then just order then through TireRack's 3 day express.

for 710, 225F/265R is a good choice. The best size is 225/245, but only VictoRacer available in that size. 265's large diameter will slow you down in some tight corners, but since 710's are much better tires, you'll be still better off even on 265.
