just make em look older, like scuff up the sidewalls a bit and remove the paint marks. are they really gonna hassle you, and have to figure out where you bought them and all that shit. seems like a lot for them paper wise to have to prove you guilty

Or be like my Canadian buddy who stores his other set of wheels in my garage and swaps them two times a year. That way you're technically not importing anything into Canada.. I don't see a problem with that.. :dunno:

And you're still subject to seizure. To me this seems like a no-brainer. Particularly if you cross the border with any sort of frequency. |

Just had snow tires put on and NOPE. They wont' all fit in the trunk. In fact, only two fit in the trunk. I had them bag them and put the other two in the back seat.

You can order the tires through Tire Rack for instance and ship to a post box in Niagara Falls NY. ( 5 min. from the border) I know someone who shipped a washer dryer combo from Texas and did this. This service is readily available for a nominal fee. Website is cbiusa.com I think. You save state tax by doing this. Either stay 48 hours to save some Canadian tax or just declare the tires and have them mounted in Canada.

Duty and taxes are the same regardless if you ship or hand-carry, but if you hand-carry you get an $800 exemption if you've stayed in the US for 48 hours or more.

hey I ordered tires from tire rack. I had them shipped to the kinek point at the border. I payed kinek $20 to give me my tires and threw them in my van. When I came to the border I said I had only purchased $200 worth of stuff. I had some old receipts and gave them those. Paid $40 duty on $1400. They wont say anything I could have said I bought nothing or doctor the tire rack online invoice i printed either way they have no clue.

Yeah, It is border fraud which has a serious penalty. Not worth it.
