The exact details from CBSA website: Quote: Repairs or alterations to your vehicle/ vessel/aircraft
If you intend to have repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft outside Canada, check with the CBSA for information before you leave. Under customs legislation, the CBSA can no longer consider your vehicle, vessel or aircraft to be Canadian-made if you increase its value, improve its condition or have it modified outside Canada. As a result, you may have to pay duty and the goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST) on the entire value of the vehicle/vessel/aircraft when you bring it back.
No duty will apply to the value of the repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft in the United States, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Israel or another Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement beneficiary when it is re-imported into Canada; however, the GST/HST will apply.
Emergency repairs can be made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft while you are travelling outside the country to ensure your safe return to Canada. However, to be eligible for this special provision, be sure to declare the value of all repairs and replacement parts when you return to Canada with the vehicle.
Transport Canada also has requirements for vehicles that are extensively modified. For more information, contact Transport Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles at 1-888-848-8240.
False declarations and the seizure of goods
If you do not declare goods, or if you falsely declare them, the CBSA can seize the goods. This means that you may lose the goods permanently or that you may have to pay a penalty to get them back. Depending on the type of goods and the circumstances involved, the CBSA may impose a penalty that ranges from 25% to 80% of the value of the seized goods.
In addition, the Customs Act provides border services officers with the authority to seize all vehicles that were used to import goods unlawfully. When this happens, the CBSA imposes a penalty that you must pay before the vehicle is returned to you.
If you do not declare tobacco products and alcoholic beverages at the time of importation, the CBSA will seize them permanently.
A record of infractions is kept in the CBSA computer system. If you have an infraction record, you may have to undergo a more detailed examination on future trips. You may also become ineligible for the NEXUS and CANPASS programs.
If your goods were seized and you disagree with the action taken, you can appeal by writing a letter to the CBSA within 90 days of the date of the seizure. You can find more information about the appeal process on your seizure receipt form.

Will you get caught, maybe not, but if you do those will be the most expensive tires you ever bought. My uncle took the gamble a few years back, he was caught and I guarantee he regrets it. | Wait WTF, am I not even allowed to have it installed, and pay for its tax at the border? They're going to try to tax me for the entire car anyways? That's full of BS

I just called CBSA. Installing new tires does not count as "alteration of vehicle", so you get charged only on the tires/installation fee. I think your uncle got ripped lol

He didn't change tires, he changed another part.
I'm glad it works, but I don't see how tires new tires don't, "increase its value, improve its condition or have it modified outside Canada". I'd ask for an email confirming having tires installed is not included in the restrictions, from CBSA, before you cross the border. That way you have a hard copy evidence they said its okay if the person you spoke to was wrong. Thats just my opinion though.

I changed the tires on my Sentra and F350 4x4 to studded snow tires beginning of the week. Haven't driven the truck yet and haven't gotten stuck with the sentra either. And I keep a set of snow chains for both just in case it gets really bad.

+1, studded tires will greatly reduce traction on bare roads. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I bought them brand new $200 mounted and balanced and they were already studded. Customer who originally ordered them decided he wanted something different and I didn't want to pay to have the studs removed.

I notice the noise mostly at low speeds just like having rocks in your tire. Drives just like my summer tire during the warmer seasons, I still drive the same speeds as usual with regards to the road conditions. The studs probably does reduce traction in bare roads a small amount, but I rather be prepared and normally keep my distance from other cars in front of me.

Yes, it is very slick out there especially on residential driveways and side streets etc. Definitely get the snow tires on and go smooth and easy. Quote:
