Alright starting to need to get new rubber in the next week or so, not sure if I want to get them off ebay this time.

Is there anywhere Perth can I just roll up and have a selection of performance tyres to purchase without fitting and just drive off?

Eg:
Bridgstone RE002
Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star
Toyo Proxes
Yokohama S.Drive
Michelin Pilot
Pirelli P-Zero

Are these generally order in stuff, or is there a performance orientated tyre retailer in the metro area, West State Tyres, Kostera's etc the go? Think there is another place in Bentley near Evo R too.

Anyone selling any tyres on here?

Yoko AD08s aren't an option ? The p zero and super pilots are about the same price from memory.

Not too phased bro - AD08's could be. Looking at around $220-250 a corner. Thought they were more than that.

Yeah, my mistake I thought the super pilots were about the same.

I've used the re002s and was very happy.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a one stop rubber shop in wa let alone oz

Get Hankooks from swan tyres! I swear by them now, I've been converted.

That's my 10 cents. Carry on.

Not really in the one place, bridgestone will usually have re002 in common sizes and like wise if you go to a yoko dealer for s-drives etc. but one shop that carries all brands doesn't exist that I know of. Also z1 is discontinued I think, now it's a ZII

While on tyre topic... has anyone used the Hankook ventus RS-3s? Meant to be great semi slicks similar to ad08s and better priced, wondering if anyone has tried them.
