        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.
