Has anyone got a good contact with these guys in the US?
I think I'm probably talking to the wrong guy, does not seam to think they deal much with OS customers. Cheers, S |

Check the tires and wheel section.
You will find a Tire Rack employee with a 135 who is a member!!!! |

+1 for Gill
Got an order about a month ago so they definitely do overseas orders with ease.

I got Wheels and Tyres from Tirerack 3 months ago. I did it all by email. They were easy to deal with and it was simple to do.

Dealt with Gill twice. No problems either time.
Just be prepared to do an international tt, both times I ordered they weren't accepting international credit cards. |

this may sound like a basic question, but where do the tyres get delivered to when you order them?
Does someone from Aust Post (or the courier company) deliver them to your front door or do you need to pick them up from the courier company? Thinking about that option once my current set wear out. |

Just curious. Does shipping and duties (if any) offset any price benefits or is this more about having a better selection?
I've always wished we had Tirerack here but never thought it could be feasible to buy tyres from overseas. Thanks in advance. |

I've done the maths and its about 35% cheaper for 2 tyres taking into account freight and the USD conversion.
Should not have any GST issues as it's less than $1000 AUD. Import duty depends on the kindness of customs, even if it was 35% I'll still be in front. |
