$5 Minimum Increase On Tires - Scorcher000 - 09-01-2009 On Sept 1st, 2009 there will be a minimum of $5 extra charge per tire. Dealers are having to pay the $5 fee up front when purchasing any tire that enters Canada, or already is in Canada. You as the Consumer will be charged $5 and UP, depending on the place you go and how well you know them. This fee is placed on here to get rid of scrap tires from companies that stock pile them untill prices are cheap enough to send them in for recycling. So what happens now is there are specific companies that are run by the Gov to make sure the safe and eco friendly destrcutions of tire happens. Is sending out trucks to pick them up. So I presume the company has to be registered and valid in order to revieve the scrap picks. So all in all, buying tires just got more $$$$$$$$ Just letting you know. :ph34r: $5 Minimum Increase On Tires - Oscar The Grouch - 09-01-2009 Yay for Cash Grabs!!! $5 Minimum Increase On Tires - 2DXTRM - 09-01-2009 I thought programs were already in place from many many years ago?
