Canada tires 30x3n’a half eh?
Is there anywhere in Canada that sells these tires? The shipping and tarrifs and exchange on the doller make them pretty steep. Before I pulled the trigger on a set from over the boarder I was wondering if anybody knew of any in canada

Before you resort to importing from the USA, research Canadian rules on buying from Britain. All the clincher tires currently sold by American companies are made in the same Vietnamese factory, of the same formula and construction. One of our members in Oz is fond of referring to them as rubbish. Increasingly people are buying Blockley tyres from Britain. My experiences buying them are here: https://dauntlessgeezer.com/DG127.clinchers.html
The inevitable often happens.

Re: Canada tires 30x3n’a half eh?
Steve has made a good suggestion. Those who have bought Blockley tyres directly shipped from England have found the process easy to follow and made at prices, including shipping, which are reasonable. You will not be displeased with the quality of the Blockley tryes compared to others available presently.
It may be of benefit to check Canadian import duties/taxes. Buying the tyres two at a time may be more economical than buying a set of four, depending on import regulations.
