after a bit of searching I still can't find the post about that cheap tyre place in melbourne...

anyone remember the name of it? think it was in the northern suburbs somewhere..

need to replace the snow tyres (so I can go return the rubber to nature on some *private* street somewhere :wassup: )

I believe this is the information you're after:

North End tyres bro

14a carrick drve,

tullamarine.

Cheap as chips, i scored 285/R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros for $150 fitted.

Thanks

lmao make sure u keep those snow tyres!!! unless u destroy them completely when sending them back to nature :)

man i had a ball when my car first came to aus with them on it... Bridgestone BLIZZAKs!! hahaha man the amount of smoke that poured from them.

looks like i'll be heading back down there soon......i wasted those pzero 285's i had on the rears! Great tyres but the tyres wore away pretty quick, i imagine they were just made of a softer compound.....hrmm perhaps i just ripped em up too hard....its really hard to say looking back! Great grip off em though!

Be careful though I got a couple of duds which caused my car to vibrate at 100km/hr.

Got new tyres now and all sweet.  They didnt want to give me a refund either.

dont spose u still have the other ones around do u? :D

that might be because when they changed the tire they didn't balance the wheel, most mechanics will balance for under $10

Yeah, these guys dont do a good job of balancing, I'd still take it elsewhere for balancing after they do it.

None the less, they have many great bargains.

I once got some duds off them, and they refunded me (at $20 less per tyre as it was a few weeks since i got them), as long as I got some others off him..

Yeah they are pretty good but for me I live about 1hr away so I didnt really want to go back and forth.

No Mate, I returned them as soon as I found they were causing vibrations. I mean I could hardly hold the steering straight at 100km/hr on the freeway.

They said they would sell them on .. Scary.. I advised them not to but Im not sure what they did.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
