hmm...if we do get the tyres, how much would fitting and balancing be?

i would be interested in 205/50/15 RE001's,

or maybe some of those S-Drives/A Drive R1's

ok made the call

205/45/17 $265 each or buy like four sets and that makes them $255 each
195/50/15 $180 each or buy like four sets and that makes them $171 each

to get the cheaper price need to buy same size tyres if sizes are mix won't be any cheaper

Do I ask the silly question of have you guys called Bob Jane at Taringa, Milton Clarke has been a long time supporter of the Club, and will usually give you a discount.

Does for me anyway :mrgreen:

Waste of time mate, they aren't looking under the bonnet....or in the boot. You should have spent the time polishing the seat adjuster handle...........or some other knob. :mrgreen:

Not unless you're heading for the Parthenon Milk Bar.
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

Is there a known price for 205/45/16s?
And if I can get them quickly, is it too late to enter this show and shine thingy? With new tyres and my new slave cylinder, I may just have a chance here. Surely no one else will have such a clean slave cylinder, and technically its not under the bonnet. Not checking the boot will be even better, no one will notice the baby seat in there!

Well spotted Spy :lol:

I have just made a quick phone call, and have sourced new tyres, probably too late to get a nice shiny slave cylinder, or baby for that matter.

Am having the underfloor airbrushed (with flames) as I type this.

Any other tips, I must win this trophy, otherwise my Concourse winning father will be sorely disappointed. Must keep up the family tradition 8)
