Hey guy's found this on the darkside and thought it would create some good discussion here. They are cheap but I beleive freight is quite high but still makes them cheaper than what we can get them here for. :roll:

From memory there were a couple of posts about this sight before.

I seem to remember someone being happy with the result and i think it was Bad Kitty that had a bad experience whether it was from this site or another :?

EDIT: Though my personal opinion is that i think it would be worth looking at.

from tirerack.com your looking around 500-600 for 5 tyres shipped to eastcoast.
I know a lot about cars, man. I can look at any car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.

just be careful with importing from O/S

once you go over $1000 you're then stung with import and customs taxes. (not sure how much this is)

The other thing is, generally tyres are manufactured differently dependant on region and environment. i've heard of people importing tyres (think they might have been MTZ's) from the US, 3 at a time to avoid import tax, but then found them to only last about half of the lifetime of their previous pair of MTZ's.

yeah, i know... it's a lot of heresay, but would probably be worth doing a bit of research before diving in!

thats just imho tho :)
