Just got back from Ogdensburg with a new set of 245/40R17 Conti Extreme Contact DW tires.
Spent an extra 15 minutes pulled to a side lot past the border booths on the way into the US just with another 20 cars and either a lunch deli truck or an x-ray truck driving slowly past.

I recommend @genometuning right here on the forums
$39 in duty tacked onto the trip on the way back in.

Next question: Any recommendations about where to get the tires mounted and balanced on new rims?

It's $504 for a set vs $464 for the V12s. Plus, there's a mail-in rebate ($65 gift MasterCard) for Canadians here:

Over 16550 and picked it up at the end of August.
Almost 10k on the stock tires in those first 3 months.
