No US dealer - online or otherwise - will ship Nokian tyres to Canada as it is forbidden in their agreement with Nokian.   How else can you reap the benefits of “Canadian pricing”

I see now that Neil’s link is for a single tyre .. where I initially assumed it was the price for a set.    When you see a ridiculous price on Amazon.ca, it typically means the product is no longer available or the listing is dated (perhaps folks do it intentionally to generate hits?) … rather than delist, the practice seems to be to set the prices at something astronomical.
