Kmart auto stores have a pricing guarantee on any tyre/brand they stock. If you provide a local quote they will beat it 10% I'm pretty sure.

No I don't work for them.

Cheers.

Yeah Perth is fucked for tyres. No Perth dealer can match the price of tyres over east.
I'm most likely going to do 4 KU36's for $220 a piece and pay the shipping to Perth, which still works out cheaper than the cunts in Perth.

Default Nitto nt05

Anyone given these a go seem to have quite good reviews was thinking of trying some when my current track tyres are dead.

Yeah i did, but they seem like more of a drag radial than a street/track/twisty tyre, from my understanding.
NT01 is what you want for a track tyre.
I quite like Nitto tyres, they are good. Loved the Invo's which were a great street tyre.

Asymetric design so not rotatable. Was warned not to go with these types of tyres for track work as camber and heavy use can wear out the tyres unevenly.

Ended up buying a set of KUMHO 245/40R18 93W KU36 for $216 a piece. Cheap shipping @ $32.00 from local stock.

Very good deal, all tyre shops in Perth are charging $300 upwards on these, the most expensive quoted @ $330.

KUMHO 245/40R18 93W KU36

An additional $20 off when you Like them on Facebook too. FB Code: facebk14



Cheers

International Tyre Traders were awesome. Tyres rocked up yesterday, highly recommend them.
