tirerack.com - do you use a freight forwarder as they don't appear to ship to OZ |

Step 1, select tyres you are after and step 2, send email asking for a shipping quote to your front door Step 3, pay via bank transfer (a bit of a pain but damn they are cheap) |

I bought the following NON RFT Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions from Tire rack last November:
2 x 24YR8RE050APP 225/40R18 BRIDGESTONE POZ RE050A POLE USD 205.00 2 x 535YR8RE050APP 255/35R18 BRIDGESTONE POZ RE050A POLE USD 254.00 SUBTOTAL: $US 918.00 FREIGHT: $US 333.83 ****FEDEX INT’L ECONOMY**** TOTAL: $US 1,251.83 To avoid duty & GST you should endeavour to make sure that the total price (exlcuding shipment costs) is less than $A 1,000. By the way, I'm very happy with the tyres. |

Was thinking of going the Kumho KU39's at $445 each but I may just import some Yoko AD08 from tirerack.com |

Update:
I ended up ordering two Michelin Pilot Super Sports from tirerack.com ($234 each) + Fedex postage was $256 USD for the two tyres. Bank wire via Commonwealth Bank Netbank (very easy - cost extra $22) Arrived here. Kmart Tyre and Auto fitted them for $20 each. Thanks for putting me onto Tirerack.com |

More importantly, don't wait too long to get matching fronts - my car was weird with RFT/non RFT mix.

No duty paid.
I have some el cheapo MAXXIS on the front not the RFT anymore. It handles fine for how I drive. Haven't got the slime/mobility kit yet, any suggestions? SuperCheap Auto? |

You can get the slime kit from Autobarn. I got mine from Autobarn Dural. It was on sale for $80 including the slime and pump. I think Repco stock them as well. |
