I'm getting the impression that regarding tires, things are a bit different in Canada than they are in the States. So far, both Sears and Costco, and another smaller "non-official" tire dealer here have told me that Michelin (Michelin Canada, I presume) won't sell them non-mainstream tires like the MXT, the idea apparently being that the "official" Michelin dealers should have some advantage over other retailers. Best price I have been able to find here in Halifax, Nova Scotia is still about $130.00 (Canadian) a tire. George
