Total - $1,656
The same tyres in Australia would have cost me approx. $3,500.
To eliminate the Import Duty, I would split the order and get two shipments of two tyres separated by a month. The shipment costs for two shipments would dictate whether this would be beneficial or not. Also, the exchange rate has changed a lot since 2012 so the costs will be higher but not as high as buying them in Australia. I have found the Michelin PSS tyre excellent for grip (dry & wet) and road noise. I would recommend Michelins over the Pirellis.
