Hay guy's, putting my car up for sale in the next few weeks for the final time but need 2 new tyres, what are some good tyre shops in brisbane that sell reasonable tyres at a good price?

I've always found option 1 cheap.

Second for Option 1. Whilst their website http://www.option1garage.com.au/NewTyres.htm only show Achilles they also used to sell Federal and Kumo (I hope).

Ethan, try Tyres and More in Geebung. I recently bought a set of Yoko C Drives 2 from them. They were 20 bucks cheaper per tyre than the other places I tried.

Option 1 will do Achilles hero's (sports) for $78.00 a corner

south side also try hacketts discount tyres in coopers plains
and purnell tyres in Waterford

ebay

I also recomend option 1, they are alo guns at wheel alignments.

Coleman tyres wacol near train station.

Hero Milanza not Achilles, and those Hero's are only ok in the dry and rubbish in the wet. I would feel very guilty putting them on for someone elses' use.

There's a mob in Coopers Plains that advertise on Gumtree, they seem to have run-out specials all the time.
Michelin PS3 for $160 in 15", Achilles ATR $89, Federal 595 Evo $89, etc. so obviously cheaper for non "performance" tyres.

details of car for sale?

Poorly worded on my behalf.

and Hero's For $79.

The coopers plains mob on gumtree I believe is hacketts discount tyres

The Achilles are a pretty good tyre for the dollars. I paid $100 a corner fitted for 235/45/17 for my S14. They are good in both dry and wet, though I can easily provoke wheelspin in the wet if I am not careful and just jump on the throttle over 3000rpm as the turbo comes in.

Take it from me. I have Milanza Heros and they are crap, wet or dry.

Thread Necro:

I need new tyres, as the two RSR's on the rear are down to the wear bars. Ringing around getting prices things seem to be more expensive then i was expecting.

I'm also getting alot of "hmm not a huge amount available in 205/50/15" but when i ask about 195/50/15 i seem to end up with lower spec stuff.

Car is weekend use so combination of highway to places and then harder driving (the odd track day, mountain etc). I'll probably only see 5k to maybe 7k km a year so i don't need a huge life tire but i'd like to get 3 years. The RSR is ok price wise but at 140 tread wear, i can't help but feel $/km might be better with the better stuff from the USA.

Also wondering if the better stuff from the states wont just be a waste for my use and to just take a step back to a RE-002 or similar.

Current Favorites are either Ku31 as a budget option or RE-11A as the expensive option
Or try the Achilles 123 in a 195

Thoughts?
