Anyone bought tyres from Alpha Omega?

Postby Guran » Fri Aug 13, 2010 10:51 pm

I've been having a web-surf tonight and stumbled across a mob called "Alpha Omega Parts & Services" in Sydney (Chester Hill) that sells Bridgestone, Dunlop and Yokohama R-Spec and S-Spec motorsport tyres very cheap. Has anyone here dealt with them before?

Thanks for this lead, Guran. I spoke to them yesterday and they sound pretty honest and helpful. Their prices bring legit 15" Bridgy RE55S almost into the range of Toyo and Kumho grey importers. I'm tempted but will probably still go Toyo R888.

They're chasing up prices on 185/60R14 R-specs for me at the moment. I'm tempted to go with R888s this time but will stick with RE55s if the price is right.

I'm using Fattima's lead for the Toyos - phone quote from talebtyres.com.au in Arncliff

Hi Guran...any update from AO? also talebtyres doesn't carry R-specs on 14s.

Yeh, I was quoted RE55s at $277 each or A048 at $232 (185/60R14). Supplied only. You need to arrange your own fitting and balancing, but this still represents a bit of a saving. I haven't ordered any yet, but will probably get a set of RE55s pretty soon.
