Tempe Tyres will have the cheapest tyres, but i dont rate their workshop. I went in for one new tyre for my 4x4. 24" tyre was $250... once it was on the ramp they said i needed a second tyre. I asked that they show me what was wrong : nothing was wrong, just trying to scam for another $250. I then drove 150KM to a car show with the steering wheel vibrating as they hadn't balanced it properly. Took it to a mate tyre shop down in Albion Park near the car show and got it sorted.

Good to know. So not including Tempe who else is sensibly priced?

Well, that's what he said to me, at least, and I was sent to him by someone who knew him as well! Forget about buying locally and order from Tirerack!

Also has anyone tried COSTCO? I saw they had PS3's there so wondering if they are an option. Only saw URVANS in the fitting bay so maybe no high end stuff. Re GoodSpanner Brookvale - had my TireRack PSS's fitted there. They charged me $65 cash for 2 then an extra $10ea because my rears were hard to get off and they lubed the rusty hub. Cash only and advised my RIM's were only for RFT's so I was on my own if the tyres came off.....and the balance is slightly off at F/WAY speeds Last edited by 1BimmerNut; 05-13-2013 at 06:13 PM.. |

Re Costco, we fitted the wife's Golf GT TDI with a set of Mich PS3s (225/45x17 91W) for $219/cnr F&B. They have other sizes, I saw 235/40x18 for $239. I shopped around for these tyres, and they were by far the cheapest price I found
