FYI

Just had a set of RE001 185/60R14's installed on my 1990 NA6.

So they are definitely still available.

Had a quote of $110 per tyre from the local (Five Dock) Bridgestone Select ($115 minus $5 NRMA discount) but ended up paying $115 per tyre balanced and fitted from Spinning Wheels.

They discounted the wheel alignment I had done at the same time as they said it wasn't possible to match the $110 Bridgestone price - their retail is (apparently) around $122.

Happy with the price and service.

The tyres had to be ordered - they are made in Taiwan (says so on the sidewall) and, according to the code on the sidewall, were manufactured in the 46th week of 2010.

Much better than the Turanza's I had on there previously.
