Peter89 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 who used http://www.tirerack.com/ ? how much was shipping? what did you buy ect ect. with the US as weak as a 2 year old, perfect time to buy stuff from America. Unlike australia their tyre prices are actually reasonable so yeh, i wish to get a set of tyres from tirerack just wondering if its worth all the trouble.

Just go into your bank and ask to do a wire transfer (tire-rack will give you all the details), it cost me something like $30 to do a wire-transfer at my bank Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/341758-tirerackcom/#findComment-5521368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have KU36's on atm and imo they suck Think they have been superceded by the RE-11? i was told i need to pay in USD though. Pretty sure the bank can do the conversion for you. E.g. you tell them you want to transfer $1000USD , they charge you this + extra for the difference.
