Best place to buy Revos?

Anyone know where the best place to get Revos are?
I am in Canada now but I may take a trip across and get a set of Revos soon but it will be tough for me to order from tirerack.com so any other suggestions are welcome......either in upstate NY, VT, NH or MA.

Does Costco or Sam's Club carry the Revos?

I have heard so many good reviews on them and the snow is killer up here. :pat:

i know a tire shop owner and his cost on them is $200 CDN each. I've been looking just across the border, but there's nothing much cheaper, if at all. I've decided that I'll wait until next fall. Maybe they'll drop in price and maybe they might even offer them in a 33" size. There is a very big demand for them right now and supply isn't keeping up. That means big $.

I know Costco can get them, and they don't seem to be suffering from the back order issues that other tire stores are. Don't know about Sam's.

I figured as much.....when you got a good product, demand always outstrips the supply!
That is sick tho, $200CDN HIS COST!!!!! :pat:

I may try to ship them to my parents in MA if www.Tirerack.com has em for $120 each (265/70/16).

then tax, then shipping, then mounting and balancing, then exchange rate. it all adds up.

I got mine from a little crappy shop (crappy looks-wise, the people are cool) in La Habra, CA, for $110 each installed. I guess it helps when you don't pay advertising fees and low rent...

Costco and sometimes firestone will match tireracks price. I know NW Costco's will match for sure---285's cost me $150 each.

Look for little local tire shops, they should be able to get & sell for a good price...

OK, for all you Canada guys.....
....I went to Costco and they have the duellers for $196 CDN each INSTALLED!!!!
Not as cheap as I would like it but still not bad.

Those are for 265/70/16 which are 31" I think?

That sounds about right when converted into US$. As for the size, you're right, ~31" was the optional SR5 and standard Limited size.

I went to a local mom and pop shop. $575 mounted and balanced for 265/75-16s. I love the tires, but I wish I got 285s. If you want my 265/75s, I'd be glad to sell them to you (they have about 5K miles on them).

beachrunner,

if you are asking me, thanks for the offer. I will have to pass. Sounds like a great deal. I am getting my 4runner soon and I want to make a list of the mods I want to do and where to get them.
