Tyre purchase/fiting in Sydney? - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Am going to be requiring new tyres soon, and as I’m new in Sydney, was wondering where people would recommend I try/avoid around Sydney for good service/prices?

A work colleague of mine recently had his tyres changed, and had all four rims come back with chips where they had applied the clamp to balance the tyres.

Chees for your help.

Depends what sort of tyres are you after? Tire rack is the best place but unfortunately you can't get certain brands. Depends also the size you are after, I believe a few forum members are offloading their tyres on "For Sale" Thread. Check them out. Last I remember they were good tyres too.

tempe tyres is good, and im going to jax in liverpool this afternoon if your in that area

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 12-02-2012, 09:58 PM

Fitting, you should be able to get it fitted & balanced for around $60-80. Tempe, Taleb, whatever..

Purchasing, really depends what you're after.

Harills · 12-03-2012, 04:17 PM

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that it will come down to specifically what i'm looking for, but was just after a few places to start enquiring, so appreciate the help. Might give Jax a miss to start with though...

Cheers again.

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 12-03-2012, 05:53 PM

^ not all Jax are bad.

I bought my Hankook RS3s from Jax Haberfield and they did a great job.

I've used Tempe and St George before on numerous occasions and they've each done a good job every time at very competitive prices.

Giveway74 · 12-03-2012, 07:05 PM

+1 for Jax Habberfield.

chrisN · 12-03-2012, 10:31 PM

yeah i wouldnt extend it to all jax. just liverpool.

mickypal82 · 12-04-2012, 06:41 AM

Try Ozzytyres at Hoxton Park. Get all my wheels and tyres from them. Price is fairly reasonable.

Quick update... ended up ordering tyres/rims through Vans in Melbourne. Good prices, very helpful, and great delivery time (including delivery to Sydney). Defintely recommend if anyone is looking!

Cheers again for everyones input.

Ended up getting the GT-CX rims which were on the Christmas special, and fitted them with Michelin PSS tyres.... first try off the run-flats, so will see how we go
