Tyler - I am planning to get my wheels refinished in the fall and replace the 10 year old treads with the Veredesteins also. Let us know how they work out.
For all you Canadian members thinking of ordering these tires...for the price I would say BUY'EM

I ordered them off the Ebay store noted earlier in the thread and with the exchange on the dollar they were $950.00 CDN (which included a shipping cost of $220.00 for all 4 tires). Once they arrived at my door step, I owed UPS another $180.00 for brokerage, duty and GST. I talked with the seller prior to shipment and he gave me the manufacture date and confirmed that a tracking number would be issued immediately. True to his word, a tracking number was issued right away.

The shipment made it to my Calgary address in about 5.5 days, which rocked. I was also extremely happy to see that the seller had packaged the tires into two separate boxes to help prevent damage/vandalism during shipment.

I mounted the tires on the car earlier this week and was really happy. They balanced out really well and we didn't run into any problems during mounting. As for a road test, they seem pretty quiet and the cornering performance appears to be better, at least compared to the old Dunlops. The only thing I noticed was that the rears aren't quite as wide as the old Dunlops, but not enough to bother me.

Just my two cents on them and the purchase...
