amazon.com won't ship that tire to my Canadian home address.

Check out this amazon.ca price for same tire:

https://www.amazon.ca/Nokian-eNTYRE-All-Season-Radial-Tire/dp/B01LREDFQ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480653848&sr=8-2&keywords=Nokian+eNTYRE+All-Season+Radial+Tire+-+205%2F65R15+99H

That can't be correct!

Neil.
