OK so who has the cheapest deal on 4 or 6 tyres (only), shipped from UK to Oz? A008s preferred.
From Huddersfield, the freight (for 4) to Sydney was dearer than the tyre cost... :shock:

I've found that 6 was the magic number for best value (eg usually same cost as 4 for shipping)

MiniSpares have tended to work out best (on my searches) for cost & shipping combination for A032R - but I have not bought any since last year - so don't know the current vageries.

When I was chasing Hakka's - I found Demon Tweeks much cheaper than the specialist mini places. (but don't think carry the A008)

And - shipping costing more than tyres not unusal... and yet still $100/tyre cheaper than buying from Tyre Dealer here... :roll:

6 x AO32s worked out the cheapest for me from Minisport.

I trawled them all, and they all ended up about the same - $95 each landed. I ended up going to minisport, because I wanted some extra bits that they put inside the wheels
