Default Tyre retailers Perth

Dear forum members,

Need some assistance on finding a reasonable tyre retailer and fitter.

Currently require Pirelli pzero 215/45 r18 93w; on a 2007 sub lib gt sti tuned. Opened to other tyre suggestions!

Cheers,
JM

At least 20,000 kms. Depends how you drive though.

The Star Specs are also a good alternative. Bit cheaper with similar performance. Check out Tire Racks in depth review for the max performance tires.

RE11 is the street tyre.

RE11S is the true semi slick.

I have a 215/45 R18 Bridgestone RE50A.

It was a spare tyre used once from Dunsborough to Perth when I put a nail in another tyre on the car. They're expensive but a great tyre. They were the OEM tyre on my 2008 GT Spec B. I've upgraded rims since then.

It might make getting the 3 others necessary easier to afford. Say $300.
