ya... coz websites can't be changed.. :)


Cush, this is my website and I can make up as many rules as I want :!: :P :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just joking. Once its up I would like to leave it for a while - rather than making a change and then sending the new version to scott and getting him to host it. Its just easier to make changes now rather than later (obviously it will be changed in the future)

Chart looks good but two problems i can see.
1. half the tyres on there aren't readily available anymore.
2 . Prices seem a bit off on some.

We get a lot of different patterns from Japan, only saw one design on there.

Which ones aren't readily availible anymore? I've just been going along with what people have said - I just assumed because they have them you can still get them.

I have looked at the prices - it depends on the town, where you go etc. All the prices on the list are generally all less than what I could get them for in Toowoomba but the prices some people were telling me they got thier tyres for were 10 - 20% less than what I could!

So I've picked a figure in the middle of the two.

well.......

I think I've just brought the last 4 Yokahama A539's

Cleaned Northern Mini Parts out (Andrew in turn had a good go at my credit card)

$160 each - yeah I know but I just had to have them - they looked so cute sitting there all lonely on the rack :)

Have you tried Stuckey's? I think I saw on here that some body got their tyres freighted to them. Other than that I would just try your local Bob Jane etc because they can usually get tyres in from the manufacturer.

Just got some new tyres on Sonic and thought I'd see how long the old ones lasted. I did have some Bridgestone 165/70/10 the cheap ones and I got around 21400km out of them or roughly 19-20 months of dry daily use for any one interested :wink: . I do throw my car around a fair bit and the tyres were just down level with the ware markers.
I now have a set of Falken 165/70/10's so I'll see how they go....
