Default Where do you guys buy tyres
I'm after some cheap 225x35x18 tyres
just wondering if any of you guys have any recommendations?

Apparently all 4 of my tyres are illegal, my diff leaks, my catchcan vents and it's too low. But still no yellow sticker.

www.tirerack.com seems to be a good place to shop, half the price of what the local shops asking for. also offering $100 prepaid card with purchase of 4 bridgestone tyres.
not sure how much shipping is tho.

Shipping from Tirerack is always between $200 and $300, usually closer to 300. Keep the order under 1000AUD to avoid duty + GST.

Shipping takes less than 2 weeks and the prices are awesome.

I always forget, do they include shipping in the $1000AUD?

The 1000AUD tax free limit excludes shipping costs.
