YMMV.

I put WS60s on yesterday at Discount Tire in Bellingham. Came back through peace arch and, unsurprisingly, paid tax.
All good, saved about $300 tho.

I've never been taxed! Call it luck, but I've claimed everything from my $500 tires, to $1500 rims, and have never been taxed! 
All at Point Roberts, too!

It seems people are getting taxed more often at Peace Arch than at Point Roberts, I might have to switch which border I get my stuff shipped to.

They might not charge you duty, but you get charged:
- 100% the HST tax,
- BC's provincial tire fee, AND
- a brokerage fee.
I rather take the trip cross the border, full declare everything...and have the chance of having the tax waived through.

For example,
........................Ship to WA............................Ship to Vancouver
Tire & Rims:......$760................................... .$760
UPS Shipping:...$130.................................. ..$271
Tax:................$0............................ ...........$98.81
Duty:.............. $0.......................................$13.44
Provincial Tire Fee: $0....................................$20
Brokerage Fee: $0.........................................$30
Grand Total: $893 USD...............................$1193 USD
Excluding my gas $:
If I get waived through: $300 difference
If I have to pay HST: $193 difference
If I have to pay HST & Duty: $140 difference
Receiving tires from one of the shipping company's: Max $20-30 USD
Unless you really don't have the time to drive down yourself, it works out to be cheaper by going down South.
P.S: For those that's been charged HST at the border, do you remember if
they charge you on the product's value? or both the product + shipping's amount?

It's canadian and the prices aren't too off from tirerack IIRC.

$18x / tire at Costco
$19x / tire at Canadian Tire
$200+++ at dealerships.
So depending what tires you want...might or might not work for some people.

If they don't show a wheel or tire on their website try giving them a call, I got an awesome deal on some special TSW's. Also by calling you can order wheels with any size hubcentric ring (sometimes online selection doesn't let you run aggressive offsets and in my case wobble bolts)
I strongly prefer the DTD way of finding rims, they might not have a lot of the premium wheel brands that tirerack does, but of what they do have everything is clearly listed and you can search by wheel size rather than vehicle specific.  | |

Cause if you do get asked to go inside...they will be looking over the receipts, and I'm not sure if the shipping cost will make the "grand total" price look higher than before.
