Default Tire Prices - Fair or Not??

Hey lads,

Bloke I've been getting tyres off of for years and years has retired and the new owners have given me the following prices on tires I need:

205/75 R15LT Firestones - $196ea

215/45ZR17s Adrenalines - $295ea

Long story short do you reckon these are reasonable prices?

Cheers in advance,


Chris

seems relatively decent for 215/45 adrenalins

i've managed to get some 215/45/17 Sumitomo HTR ZII's for 800 fitted - seems like a pretty comparable tyre, if not better

keep looking around if i were you.

I just bought 2 x Kumho KU31's for the XR through Tempe in NSW, $210ea delivered to my door. The cheapest I could find them in Perth was $308, which was 'on special', closest to me was Rockingham, they wanted $352!!

Email Sam at Tempe for pricing, I guarantee they will be very competitive.
