Default We're getting ripped off on tyre prices in this Country.
Hi Macloft,

I sent my wire transfer to the States today for my 4 Sumitomos; two 315/35/17 HTR Z and two 255/45/17 HTR Z II.

With the freight from USA to my door included, the price in Ozy Dollars was $680.05 plus $29 Bank Fees & 91 cents GST being a total of $710.05.

I have just priced the identical tyres from my local Tyre Shop in Sydney. The 315/35/17 were $365 each and the 255/45/17 were $254 being a total of $1,238. I have saved a cool $527.95 by buying them from the USA.

As Pauline would say, "Please explain?"

Regards

Baz.
