It depends what the exhange rate is. At this moment, shipping included it is more expensive on TireRack than buying at my local shop.

I just bought a set of LM-25s and even with shipping, customs and the exchange rate, I came in under what a local canadian site (which claims to have the lowest prices possible) would have charged for just the tires.

Also a question cause I have seen this. Can you just get winters for the front tires and leave the back with the stocks? Downfalls to that? Thanx. Oh I'm in GTA.

All the shops and tire stores I've ever been to have signs at the counter that say they will only replace or install winter tires in 4 NOT 2. Like Revox said you have a tendency for your back to spin out when you corner.
