John at WW wants $525 per corner for a total cost of Aus $2100
Rudy at Tire Rack wants US$189 per corner plus $350 for delivery to my door for total of approx Aus $1070.

Tell us how you find the S-drives.

I'm on the lookout for the quietest performance tyre soon.

I have the same tyres in 245/45/18 on my rotas and I absolutely love them John. Very quiet tyre imo.

I loved my S-drives - pretty keen to get them off tirerack. $173 a corner for the ones I wanted plus $350ish to ship... $1042 a set, thanks for coming!

Same here Dave.

Conti Sport DW
Bob Jane: $480 per corner
Peel Tyres: $400 per corner
Rudi: $606 for all 4 + 376 Delivery + $35 telegraphic transfer = $955AUD Delivered.

Had the Fedex tracking number sent this morning.

Once again, amazing service! Thanks to Dan for getting me onto Rudy yonks ago.

Next stop, tyres for the missus' Prado.

P.S On another note, I hear that Insurance companies can gong a claim due to the tyres not being Aus Standard / ADR approved.

Anybody know if this is bullshit? The way I see it, they are made out of the same factory but the person telling me this said that most cars coming in from Japan have tyres on them that their sidewalls are not up to ADR spec and need changing?

Hey guys is there some sort of tax we need to pay if the total cost from Tirerack is over 1k?

I believe its 10% import duty and 10% for something else if over $1000.. but sure someone will confirm shortly :)
