Peter, what size tyre is that? Toyo are hard as TireRack don't sell them.

Here is my comparison:

Pirelli PZero 335/35ZR17

Cheapest price here is AU$800ea.

TireRack price: US$315

Shipping to container: US$15ea(assuming shipping a set of 4)

Total: US$330 = AU$430

Lets say share container costs are $50 per tyre(before duty & gst).

Plus 10% duty, plus 10% gst.

Total $480 + 10% + 10% = AU$580

Even with $25ea fitting it is cheaper.

Now look at the fact I'm buying 2 of these and a pair of 245's for front. My savings are greater than AU$500 on a set of tyres.

Different savings for different brands and of course the more expensive the tyre, the more savings.

Let me know if I have this wrong anyone. I'm no expert.
