Recent rules governing shipments allowed by the manufacturers have policies in place restricting products being exported into Australia.

BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Michelin, Firestone, General, Pirelli, and Yokohama have all recently placed export restrictions on their products and will no longer allow us to ship into Australia and other European nations. This is a recent policy change and we are continuing to work through the details. Other manufacturers are considering similar positions and may draw up policies of their own banning any shipments outside of the US, Canada and Mexico.

I am upset to report this as you and many other international clients have been very loyal to The Tire Rack. Please understand, this is a manufacturer's policy of which we have to abide.
These restrictions shouldn't apply to freight forwarding services

Wouldn't need them if they weren't greedy assholes. They know they can gouge us for every cent because we let them and everyone else get away with it!

Just a heads up for some people here, John has informed me that Wheels World is now back in full swing due to the addition of a tyre and suspension guru.

Quality work as usual

Got new tyres and a wheel alignment at Wheels World recently and all I can say is they are very courteous, quick and well priced. Very professional outfit and going back to get my suspension sorted out very soon.

Just to clarify for everybody...John Fowler IS NOT at Wheels World.

John's business is John Fowler Autosport and he can offer sales of rims, tyres and suspension components. He can fit and align and offers a pick up and delivery service if required.

Wheels World is a completely separate business and is not tied up with John Fowler Autosport in any way.

+1 for John Fowler. Had him fix up my suspension yesterday, turns out it was severely out of whack after a recent roll centre kit install.

Drives like a completely different car now, can actually push it around corners and not understeer like crazy.

Anyway great service from John, he took the time to get it all corrected properly and gave me a lift to and from work

Bob Jane Cannington will honour the Yokohama 4 for 3 deal on stock not currently available until the end of July. Great deal if u are chasing some ADO8R's and don't mind waiting 2 to 6 months on some factory fresh sticky rubber.
Another well respected shop mentioned in high performance/track circles would not do this for me . . .
