It gets worse than just N-spec tyres. I know a fella that works for a small local car lot, specializing in "toys". He was telling me that they sourced a US Porsche on behalf of a customer and the local dealership (apparently owned and operated by Ali Baba and associates) charged $1200 for the inspection. Just having N-spec tyres wasn't good enough - it failed because three of the tyres were N0 and one was N1.

After hearing a few stories like this I would never try and import a Porsche. If I couldn't find what I wanted in Canada then I would just buy a different car.
