Default Potenza RE 070 Tyres

Hi All
I am buying a new set of tyres for MY06 STI. Bridgestone WA are quoting me $390 per tyre ex-stock Perth. Are there any other resellers that I might buy from that are going to be cheaper or am I stuck with Bridgestone dealers?
Cheers Dave

Try Tempe Tyres mate, they are usually pretty cheap.

Any reason why you are going with the OE tyres? There are some better tyres out there depending on the application.

I like the tyre and since the car is on a novated lease that expires in Oct 07 I saw no reason to change. Yes you can buy cheaper tyres than the oem bridgestones but that's not my aim in this case.

I just put RE070s on my STi and am wrapped with them. Got them for 360 a corner from Bob Jane Ossy Park including balancing. They also did a good price on an alignment as well.

I managed to get bridgestone to throw in wheel alignment at nc and paid $380 per corner for them. Now I have the new shoes on I remember why I liked the RE 070 so much.
