Jeff,
While those tyres are still listed on the Canadian Tire website, when I inquired about them, the local stores were unable to bring them in.

Both Vanco and Vancontact seem to be 102 rated and either 8 or 10 ply. If these really are available at Canadian Tire it will hopefully help a few people out. I’m not interested in shipping them from bus depot or any other site in the US - shipping is crazy stupid to Canada it seems. You are all teasing me with options that aren’t economically available to me up here!!
