Better get in quick - the sale is only while stock lasts.

Earlier today Bob Jane told me that Yokohama's system suggests that there's only one 205/50 R15 AD08R left in the country but some non-Bob Jane dealers might have tyres that are not on the system. Then I phoned http://www.tractiontyres.com.au/ and took one of their last three sets.

Good luck if you've not got yours yet.

Damn auto correct. That should be RRP as in recommended retail price, not FTP.

wow. Are you just an ordinary customer, or is that mates rates? Is this a lesson for newbies like me? Should I be asking for better than RRP as a matter of course?

Just lucky really. I'd never used these guys, but i had referred a mate to buy the same tyres a couple of week before hand in a different size. They obviously appreciated the business and wanted to offer me a good deal.

Can't complain really. Good Karma.
