hi all

i need some new rear tires and in the past ive manage to get some pretty decent tires for good prices.

have any1 changed their tires recently and know what to recommend and where to buy it from?

i used to get quoted on sumitomo htr z3 for $235 now its like they have all gone up and you can only get china tyres for that price.

thanks

Access Autoworks has Federal 255/40/17 595 SS @ $146 each -- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ty...es-t205076.html

You'd be looking at about $100 postage I would say, plus fitting.

Give me a yell if you find any other good deals because I'm in the market for either 245/255/265 for my rears.

try West state tyres in bentley?

[philta]

tried west state. dunno got the 300ish mark.

best perth prices so far is 229 for maxxis MAV1.

with postage thats still pretty cheap, want to share the postage cost with me levinet? i need 2 for the rears too

dam camber wear, i dont want to get camber arms since its at a perfect 2 deg on mine

4 X 255/40/17 595 SS @ $146 each = $584

Shipping: $220

Total: $804 / 2 = $402 for each of us.

But remember you'll still need to factor in fitting costs. Though I have heard great things about the 595's and I'm pretty sure they'll be better than the MAV1's.

So if you're up for it, I would be to, you'll just need to give me a little bit of time to get my money together.

Not sure how much shipping is for just the 2 tyres, so it may not actually be any cheaper to combine the orders, I'll PM him and ask...

i have 2 brand new never been fitted Kumho KU 31s 255/40/17 will sell the 2 for 400 they are very highly ranked

595's are rock and roll value tyres! I have a set of 255/17 on the GTR and I can say they are punching above their weight in terms of price.

$146 each! thats a bargain and a half

[R32 Driver]

How much is it roughly to fit a tyre?

im looking at some 255/40/17x2 and 235/45/17x2

just sent him pm

same price range as nexens but im guessing they perform a heap better?

[Levi_]

For a full set to be fitted, it's usually about $60-70 at any local tyre place.

[philta]

i just rang them, 255/40/17 have gone up to $158 each

[R32 Driver]

doesnt seem like any discount on delivery

its at $66 per tyre which seems pretty expensive

seeing as tempe sends a set of wheels + tyres out for $100 australia wide
