So it is still cheaper to import from UK or is there a good local source for these? I need 10x5's.

Thanks in advance

Everybody selling them here is a burglar (because of Yokohama Australia's pricing), so bring 6 in from UK and sell 2 on. 8)
Freight on 6 is not much more than for 4, so they say. Try Minisport.

Miniskirt are having a good sale and they have renegotiated those shipping contract to a better rate than you will are online. It'll pay to pick up the phone and ask for Mick...

I see Advan A032 at Minispares UK are 47 pound at the present. This calculates to $73 each. 4 of these tyres for $300 is robbery but add the freight, I didnt work it this far. Not bad eh :shock:

Lettuce snow how you go with them if you go this way please.

Recently, I was conversing with Will at Minispares UK about freight. I was complaining that when the dollar surged the cost landed wasnt that much cheaper and I had worked out it was UPS that increased their share of the profits along the line.

So I then asked to be sent by Royal Mail and the answer to that is maximum 2Kg only. Not sure which company Minisport uses.

Again, I would be interested to know the outcome - please...

Minisport UK offer both UPS and dhl. It would probably be cheaper to order wheels and tires out of them than it is to buy tires alone in aus.
