Use the CTC price match guarantee to get a lower price and get the difference back in CTC bucks....very useful when only other option(s) while cheaper, includes shipping versus local purchase.

Yeah I tried to Wiesel the price down..problem is no one has em for cheaper it seems now a days.
 
I know this is off topic and forgive the ignorance of someone from south of the 49th parallel but I was wonder about the term "Crappy Tire"? I assume it is Canadian slang for Canadian Tire stores. Similar to us down south calling Montgomery Ward Monkey Ward. Can anyone tell me why it is "Crappy"?

Your assumption is correct. Canadian Tire used to have a strong focus on "value" products. In many cases this tended more to the cheapest products available. More recently they have been trying to re-position themselves so the old reputation may not hold but redefining a brand is a tough thing to do.
