What profile tyres have your currently got? Your car is still standard ride height yeah?Apparently a new container load of RS-R's should have arrived in Brisbane this week just gone according to Federal Australia.

No dramas there at all. The stock should be ready for sale provided the boat got there as they said. Wouldnt hurt to make a phone call to Cairns Tyre Specialists also just to compare prices once your local bloke comes up with a figure. that's Nicks mate with the Blue Starlet!!! hahahaha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47055-rubber-that-will-hold-please/page/4/#findComment-699337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cases its about $25 per tyre for freight. The 235/40/R18's were like $5 cheaper.

I rang Federal and they said Cairns Tyre Specialist and Jax Qik Fit were common distributors up here.
