No more tire rack to OZ?

Steve at Bob Jane Haberfield can get them for you.

If you see them cheaper locally, be sure to let them know. They are out to get you the best deal.

+1

These guys are actually willing to work for your business. If you dont need the tyres ASAP, they will beat any other price you have been quoted.

Totes. I have not bought tyres from anyone other than Steve for many years.

Really?

Well i placed an order just last week... Paid for, Wednesday last week and wheels on the way right now... Should land in Darwin tomorrow.

Hopefully that wasnt my last order....

Hopshopgo is a good place for a us address to then on ship for us... Hopefully that can help bridge the gap.

I always wonder though... How is it that we can irder tyres/wheels which are sent to us within days and cost us less than here?... Makes me mad that they rip us off so much locally.

Wtf?!!?

What tyres was he ordering?
I heard similar about a yr ago but it was for a set of Yokohamas. Apparently Yokohama put a stop to it.

What a shame that Tirerack isn't shipping to Oz anymore, as my experience in purchasing tyres from them has been nothing but fantastic.

Costco sells Michelin, incl PSS. That's right, COSTCO!

My next set will probably be Pirelli Trofeo tho'...more grip than MPSC. Great deals available from a local vendor well known to Porsche boys.

[ippykaye]

Thought Costco only had PS3, not PSS.

That's correct Ian. I bought 2 sets of Yoko Parada for our Q7 from them and on the 3rd set, Tirerack said Yoko USA had banned them from selling to overseas customers. So I got a set of Firestone instead, even cheaper and no problem so far.

They've got PSS as they quoted me on it. I can't remember the price but I do remember being impressed.

Looks like certain brands are only not allowed to be shipped to OZ.

I told him my mate ordered TOYO and he said the manufacturer has prohibited the shipping to OZ.

I have sent another email asking which other brands aren't allowed to be shipped.

Costco?! Interesting ...
I find Tyrepower North Melbourne convenient (and similarly priced to TireRack) because they will stock tyres - in the event that I puncture another which is unrepairable, there is a full set waiting (rather than waiting 1-2w for overseas delivery or competition rubber).

Just heard back from Gill. No issues with shipping!

Look like only certain tyre brands are being prohibited from shipping out of the US. Not all bad news.

As long as MPSS is on the list I'm happy!

They still don't seem to have AD050's available.

JAX quoted me $619 for the PS2. 275/35/19. go figure..
