There is another group in the Uk/Ireland that were able to ship Yokohama to Australia when I inquired a few months ago, unfortunately the name eludes me at this point in time.

I don't think they do the A050's. I rang a about a year back and they said they only do the 48's and don't expect to do the 50's. Not too sure what the go is now tho.

Come to think of it, I thought A050's were only in the Japanese and Australian market. International cars at WTAC last year were chasing setup as the A050's are far more stickier than the tyres they ran in their own countries for time attack.

Demon Tweeks etc dont have A050's, just the 48's.
As far as I was aware Franz is correct, they are for Aus and Jap market only.

I will add my name to this list unless there is absolutely no other choice for certain things. Need some good recommendations now of where else to go as I have never been anywhere else.

This is sad news. Been dealing with John since putting Konis in an RX3 coupe when he was on Hay St Subi.....before WRX's were invented

My choice for alignment would be Wilkinsons.

For A050 R comps I don't think you have much choice. For anything else, plenty of choice.

Their pricing looks a bit high on things like the Neova's compared to RRPs available here.

Ahh, yeh. Link was to A050's. Point was that there is virtually no other options for sourcing A050's.

Neova AD08's you can get from the UK for cheaper.

Can anyone remember if we were given a compound choice on the A048s over here?

I did have some but can't remember, Its just that I notice they get a choice of Hard / Medium / Soft over in the UK.
