I have been told by 3 different tyre shops here in Brisbane that as long as they are DOT rated, they are 100% legal. They need to state their ratings on the sidewall otherwise Australian shops will not fit them.

I did my homework on this one as didnt want to waste $850 on tyres I cant use :oops:

FYI shipping isnt too bad at $294.95 US for a set of 235/40-17's

Thanks for that info Schultzy.

I looked into TireRack for Hankook Ventus R-S3 225/45/15s about a month ago and was informed that they have no idea when/if these will actually arrive. They are the only non-Track 225/45/15 tyre that TireRack sell :(
