Wtb Cheap Tyres

[hr32gts]

Need some 205/55 R16 tyres to go on my stock R32 wheels so that I can complete my 5 stud conversion with bigger brakes ...

Currently I can get federals for $100 to 140 per tyre depending on type (not including fitting and balance)

Anyone know of any cheaper tyres + fitment and balance

Federals are about the cheapest, excluding nexens that spin in 50kw cars.

you can try Hero's as well, they are federals other tyre brand

How are those Hero's working out for you Zane?

Only just got my car back from chris's on Saturday now the testing begins.

Ended up getting a couple Kumho's on the rear on my 17's for $50 fitted and balanced for a pair from Jax quickfit in queenbeyan

Just payed off the skyline today in full ... now 100% own the car and it feels great ...

So will save up a bit more cash and get 4x 205/55 R16's to go on the stock GTS-T wheels and I will do the 5 stud conversion with the bigger brakes will be heaps better with good brakes

..also, any recommendations on where to get some federals for my dads car...?

[hr32gts]

for federals go to National tyre wholesales in fyshwick they dont fit tyres tho but sell them for like $100 per tyre for federal 595's depends on size tho

As I understand it, NTW is a wholesaler they don't sell to individuals as a rule.

pm Bullet32 and see what he can do for you

[hr32gts]

NTW do sell to public ... I should know I used to work for them ... they just don't fit the tyres

[Bullet32]

As I understand it, NTW is a wholesaler they don't sell to individuals as a rule.

I'm afraid that this statement is correct...

NTW used to sell direct to the public, but as we are a wholesaler and have a network of retail dealers who not only sell tyres but fit and balance them as well, we have changed our policy on cash sales so that we can better support our dealers.

I will happily recommend tyres for you and supply the details of your local dealer, but I cant sell directly to the public for cash.

The best way for any SAU member to get Federal tyres for a good price is to become a paid member and send a PM to DrDoof as Federal support the NSW club by supplying tyres at a discounted rate for paid members.

My apologies to all...

P.S. - PM me if you have any questions please.

Hero is Federal's lower tier brand (think Bridgestone and Firestone), they are made by Federal and are very similar in construction and design but generally retail for a lower price.

The tyres that Zane has on his R32 are the HZ1 performance tyres.
