WW have the monopoly on Yokohama race tyres since they were appointed as the single state distributor as is the case for most if not all other race tyres (eg Dunlop via Kostera's for years and Kerry Wade with Bridgestone...etc). WW had plenty of custom before A050's came along...most of us used to get our Dunlops or Bridgestones through WW.

But credit where credit's due.

John's experience with setting up WRX's comes from a long association with the brand...eg since 1994 when WW put the 1st set of 17" rims to go on a WRX in Aust together with Koni inserts with lowered springs onto my car. And he has years of experience with many Jap and Euro (including high end) brands. John also has related academic qualifications.

In the past, through John, WW (before Bob's passing) supported motorsport at the Club level...eg sponsorship of the EVO vs WRX series.

But WW certainly isn't the only place to have a good alignment done in Perth...eg Wilkos are excellent. So there always has been choice.

It's been a tough road for John since Bob's passing, so it's unfortunate that things have come to this after all the work he and Dean did to hold the business together in that limbo period. Let's hope that some sanity might prevail.
