Nokian's tires are made in the US. Until Trump nixes NAFTA, you won't have to pay duty on them. GST/PST on the other hand yes. I'm not sure where the tires ended up getting sourced from but you might have to pay the local sales tax as well which might even out any savings. Since JordanLee mentioned $110 shipped, I'm assuming this with taxes, shipping, etc included.

Assuming that he's not paying taxes after staying a couple of days, $110 ($140CDN) vs $170+taxes ($190CDN) means he's saving $200. For $200, I think it might be worth it.
