My car at the moment has 225/45/17 91Y rubber on it. I can replace them with 91W or 94W can't I?

A few comments here about Tyre Rack, has anyone actually used them, and if so how was the service, shipping time etc.

cheers

pros: service good, shipping was 10 days over easter, price was good.
cons: wouldn't mark down my rims so i had to pay import duty

Well have just sent over a wire transfer for $967AUS for a set of 4 Pirelli Pzero Nero for the sti, landed at my door. Quite happy with that.

How are the Pzero nero when it comes to grip/wear wise? $967 is pretty damn good! Im willing to give them a go!

St George Tyres or tirerack.com?

I need some new shoes for my 17s asap! RE001s in 225/45/17 they want 250+ locally! Both St george and tirerack don't do RE001s.

Can someone explain the difference between the speed index also. Say 94Y or 94W....which should i be looking at?

The number, say 91, is the load rating (how much weight the tyre is rated to hold). Try to keep this number close to the standard equipment, you can stray a rating or 2 up but don't go lower. The letter, say W, is the speed rating of the tyre. W means the tyre is ok up to 270kph, so more than enough. Most quality tyres will be way better than you need in this area.

Thx mate. According to Tirerack.com Pzero Nero are $128US each, and delivery will be approx $380 to australia according to one of the staff. Brings the total figure of $892 including delivery.

Will i have to pay import duty/tax when it goes from custom on our side?

Only if its over $1000 dude, you shouldn't have any import duty with that total

Can someone confrim the above written by Swelly? Preferbably by someone that brought from tirerack or overseas.
