Replies I received:
"Thank you for your patience. I was just informed that we even though*cannot send Toyo*brand tires internationally to Australia,*we can ship comparable these brands to your location: Dunlop, Goodyear, Hoosier,*Kumho, and Sumitomo tires." I then asked about Michelin and he replied they are also prohibited from shipping them to OZ. I asked about forwarding company and he isn't sure what and if any restrictions they have. |

I did that and no difference, so in the end I paid the $410 for shipping. I'd rather buy locally but even with stupid shipping rates, I'm still saving. |

I just email one of the online saleman at tire rack for a quote for 2 Michelin Pilot Super Sports to be delivered to Australia
As i just bought the rears from tire rack a couple of weeks ago. We shall see what they say. You should be able to ship the tyres to US address and then ship to Australia I have 2 US addresses one with very good shipping costs with Fedex. |

So now you gotta pay $50 odd to ship the 4 tyres within the country $20 or whatever more in brokers fees.. Pretty well $100 extra to get them here Still.. $300-$350 a tire, ship 2 at a time to stay under $1000 hopefully an you'd have a set of 4 that'll run no more than $1800 instead of $3k |

Try ebay here and usa or baan velgen. that's what I do
tire rack is usually >$1k so too much hassle anyway. there's also a few shops around sydney selling grey imports at okish prices too |

I just ordered a set of PSS today, did the money transfer an all and delivery is to Melbourne from Tirerack direct. No mention of not being able to ship them. I hope they don't cancel my order. |

ha ha, no not quite, it's for the family car, CX-9!
I'm getting PSS in 255/45/20, no more truck tyres for me thanks! They're kinda close enough to the stock 245/50/20 it came with. |

Good Gary. Having bought a pair of rear 255/35/18 PSSs & a Toyo 888 from Tyrerack a few months ago I'm now keen to get a set of front 225/40/18 PSSs. Maybe we can combine the order & split the shipping. |
