Peter, is that a normal street tyre or road/race tyre like RA1

For normal street how about Yokohama AVS Sport. Not cheapest, not the most expensive:

Yokohama AVS Sport 245/45WR16

Cheapest price here is AU$???ea.

TireRack price: US$139

Shipping to container: US$10ea(assuming shipping a set of 4)

Total: US$149 = AU$195

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

Plus 10% duty, plus 10% gst.

Total $245 + 10% + 10% = AU$297(plus fitting)

How much is a Yokohama AVS Sport worth here? Wouldn't it be a better/more expensive tyre than Toyo. You could save a few bucks and go back to tyre like Bridgestone Potenza RE750. Would work out to be AU$277.

Glad I'm not buying 16" tyres, it's such a nice wheel diameter, but so few tyres available for right price.
