Default Help picking some Tires?

Hello all....Im looking for a new tire for my 2004 dodge ram, quad cab, 2wd, with my stock 20's....i know which tire im going to get but i was wondering where to get them..

IM here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada...and i am looking for a good place to get them...prices up here are out of this world and i was wondering if anyone in the Toronto area knows a place to get them at a half decent price... i wanted to get HANKOOK - RH07. 275-60-20......prices here in canada are upwards of $345 a tire but some america sites have them for like $130 a tire.......
What should i do, make a trip down to buffalo or detroit and put them on, or if someone can guide me to a place up here for something a bit better in price....
Damn this overpriced crap lol nevermind....thx all

I recommend Toyos, Dick Cepeks, or Mickey Thompsons. A/T's!!!!!!!!!!

Do it and you'll be happy.

Just Picked Up The Toyo A/T's, Think It Was The Wise Choice.. Good Wear, Great Wet Traction, Good Traction In Snow.

I Learned The Width of A Tire Can Show Two Faces. Too Wide and I Don't Care What You Have, They WILL Float. If You Want Good Snow Traction Stay As Skinny As Possible. That I Know From Personal Experience.

Toyo Has A 275/60R20 In Their A/T's

Dick Cepeks suck, I had a set of them on my 03 Jeep Wrangler and they just were awful. Toyo's are good

I ordered my tires from the states and I still saved 700$ on the total price. My friend works for a tire shop and was amazed at the amount of money I saved. He said that he would make more money buying them from me instead of his supplier. Tire+shipping+customs = 700$ less than canadian pricing? Can't understand why?

I installed new Toyo Proxes ST tires and love them. They are wide and contrary to comment above they go through water great, without hydroplaning. This is fact, not fiction. We got caught in a horrible rain storm, having to go through deep puddles of water up in Northern Arkansas when the tornadoes were hitting, so it is fact. The are 305/50/20 and look great on our 05 Hemi. I highly recommend them. If you can order them, that is the way to go, or cross the border and buy them. Go to Toyo.com to find a dealer nearest you.
