Tab ya right - can't believe why I stayed on the Dunlop OEMs as long as I did. The grip is phenomenal.
rwatkins Member 7 Member For: 17y 1m 1d Posted 20/10/10 11:46 AM Posted 20/10/10 11:46 AM Given the many recommendations by forum members I too have purchased 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym - 245/40/R18 fromTire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com/)...the total cost to my door (in Adelaide) was $966.55...they will be balancedand fitted tomorrow for $50...given the best price I could get in Adelaide was $450 per tyre this is a significantsaving...I would definiately endorse Tire Rack...delivery time was less than 7 days...note the lack of credit cardpayments was a minor inconvenince...if you prefer buying in Australia definately give Beaurepaires Box Hill a call(see above for details)...they seemed like top blokes and provided the best price I could find...I hope this infohelps.

rwatkins Member 7 Member For: 17y 1m 1d Posted 20/10/10 12:02 PM Posted 20/10/10 12:02 PM (edited) Hey Turbo6FG...the price mentioned was the cost in $US to my door...it included freight...$222.55...there was no GST or Duty...note that Duty *may* cut in if the purchased goods are greater than a certain amount...say $1,000...I am not sure what the rules are...hope that helps.

As Rudiger would know, I had a bit of brake fade and was struggling to keep up with him on the way home through Khancoban Edited 26/11/10 08:08 PM by EvilDaifu

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 27/11/10 12:16 PM Posted 27/11/10 12:16 PM I miss the Asymetrics. I've had the Kuhmo 31's on for three thousand k's now. Their quite.............. Not even in the shadow of the Goodyears for grip. And not really that much cheaper.
