Continental Spike Claw Canada

Any fellow Canucks know where I can purchase Conti Spike Claw tires in Canada?
The LBS's in my area don't carry and can't/won't order them.

So far, in searching I have only found 1 Canadian site advertising these tires!
$65 each + shipping. Hoping to find a better deal.

Does it have to be that particular studded tire? Mountain Equipment Coop sells a few. https://mec.ca

Thanks for the link Santiago. The only studded tires they sell are the Schwalbe Snow Stud (not agressive
enough, only 106 studs on the outsides) and the Schwalbe Ice spiker (too expensive). While researching
studded tires I have come to the conclusion that the Conti's are the best bang for the buck.

Well then what about an alternate source for the Ice Spiker. This Ebay vendor sells a 700x38c for about $50 USD each. You should ask him if he can get you a 26" if that's what you're looking for.

Alternatively Bikeman.com has them for $60 USD:

Where in Canada are you located? My Montreal-based club has a fantastic deal on Schwalbe tires but you have to be a member ($25/year). The deal on the Schwalbe tires is worth the membership price alone. I think our orders for the year are done and the next one won't be until next spring.

Thanks for the links Santiago. But I think the Ice Spiker would be overkill with it's extra long spikes,
especially when riding on pavement.
I live in the great metropolis of Kelowna (thats in B.C.) Do you think they would let me join your club? I'd probably be pretty pooped after peddling to Montreal to join in your club rides.
