i wouldnt really bother with local, especially with high end large sizes. ive always saved about 40-50% with tirerack and it takes 5 days to arrive

just out of interest harills, what was the price u paid and size?
I'm not sure about the other brands but I received a quote from a local tyre place for some AD08's in 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 and got $340 each for the fronts and $400 each for the rears, all mounted, balanced, valves, etc. It's the only quote I got so I don't know how much cheaper they get in Sydney. That's looking at the total cost of $1480.

The same tyres on tirerack cost $1146 without shipping, customs, fitting etc.

It appears that for AD08's at least it's cheaper to just buy in Sydney.
