where to get cheap tyres melbourne?

Postby mossy » Wed Jun 14, 2006 2:33 pm

I'm after 205/50/15 in a azenis 615 or maybe a toyo ra1, guys in sydney seem to get the 615's for close to 200 but in melb the cheapest I've been quoted is 245. Cheapest on the ra1's so far is 245, anyone know of any cheap places?

Dr Rubber Tyres & Wheels

Cheapest I've found so far. Independent. Don't know if they normally do Azenis but you can at least try.

What can you get Hankook R-S2 Z212's for? Should be similar performance...

(Guess I shouldn't mention that that size Azenis are US$78 stateside)

Cheapest for the azenis is $220 per tyre at trackside tyres and it doesn't look like its getting any cheaper than that, maybe i should spend the extra $100 and just get RA1's.

I've seen that price too Matty, Azenis for $105aud in the states and most places here i was quoted $270, one place even quoted me $310, unbelievable.

Mossy, it may be worth getting in contact with dimplebutt, he may have a place for cheap priced tyres.
