Ok, the website (below) has all the company details, but here's an overview…

Treads International – Their main business is importing USED tyres from the US. But they do seem to have a selection of New tyres at times.

They wholesale / suppling used tyres to many of the tyre shops around town.

The deal I got…

2 x Bridgestone Potenza S03 265/35/R18 – approx 70/80% tread

Retail price approx $475 per tyre -- Price I got from Treads, $80 per tyre

Obviously they range in price – quality of tyre, size, tread, etc – I think somewhere from $80 to $100 per tyre. But you'll need to check with them.

They DON'T fit tyres - I got this done at Bobjane for $15 per tyre.

I've only dealt with these guys the one time, but they seemed very helpful.

--- They are NOT a SAU Sponsor or associated with SAU in any way.

But they are happy to sell tyres to people from SAU at a good price!! (Dealing directly with the wholsaler :( )

Hey Dave, I think their site it back up...

not sure if they do semi slicks but pls post up here if they do! (or don't) - maybe they can order them??

also, for the tyre shops, I think they sell tyres in batches eg. minimum of 20 tyres.

could be good if a few guys get together... kind of a 'group buy' maybe?

just an idea! could be helpful for the drift guys...

Well I am out looking for 225x45x17s atm.. actually will need to get it this saturday... I might give them a buzz tomorrow and see what they have in terms of new tyres..

Let me know how you go

But don't discount the 2nd hand tyres... with 70-80% tread, at the right price... you can't go wrong!

I'll probably be back out there tomorrow - I'm looking for front tyres 234/45/R18...

I'll ask them about semi-slick while I'm there.

Just called them, they only stock 2nd hand tyres so I'm out on this one.. I wanted new tyres.... And just realised that from gold coast its a fair hike up there... Excellent price for 80/90% tread tyres tho. Oh yeah they only open mon-fri between 8-5.

Ok, I was thinking they had new tyres 'at times'

but yes, 2nd hand are their specialty.

As for Semi Slicks - I spoke to Michael today, they do stock them - mainly 17s @ approx $100 per tyre (but I'm not sure on brand or % tread/quality)

I thing they import new stock every month or 2 - if they don't have what you are looking for, they may have something in their next shipment.

hope that helps... good luck!
