Tyres are the only thing that connects the car to the ground.
I am a tight arse, but I will never scrimp on tyres.

No need -- he's already here!
Showroom: 133 Russell St, Emu Plains, NSW 2750.
Phone: 02 4735 8734 / 0438 395 741
Contact Form: Gordon Leven Motorsport Tyres
Email: motorsport@gordonleven.com
Now whether he ships to the outpost of Western Australia, well that's another question entirely!

If "up in Cairns" means the temperatures are cooler, then that is even more cause to fit the Avons in my view. I'm in the UK, which isn't renowned for its high temperatures and the Avons work extremely well at cooler temperatures.

Hey Paul,
Do you recall the Robin Williams movie, 'Gooooooooood Morning Viiieeeetttnnnaaaammmmmmm'? Particularly his little speech about how hot and wet it was?
That is Cairns.......
Mate I will be back to Goodwood one day! |

Longstone Classic Tyres UK
225/60R15 260 PoundUk
245/60R15 275 Pound Uk
.......Sorry couldn't find pound sterling symbol
By the time you convert to Aud and add shipping. Would be cheaper to purchase locally!

Does not help that the AUD / GBP conversion is around the worst for the past 5 years. If the current trend continues, the next run of imports will (may) be more expensive depending on distributors margins.

$399 USD will calculate to roughly $505+ AUD possible more depending on your credit card exchange rate used, let alone paypal. Add shipping and you are over the aus seller.
Current exchange rates are not overly enticing compared to recent times.
In the past I have paid $280 to have 4 tyres shipped with tire rack and another time was $315 for 6 tyres.

They are closer to sizes I'm looking for.....
I was hoping to find a used set for set up purposes but my guess is people will hold on to these since they are so expensive

Performance Plus California
Mickey Thompson ST's
235/60R15 $122
245/60R15 $131
295/50R15 $170
A lot cheaper than local but then comes down to shipping and the prices they charge. Plus with the exchange rate of late.......Will be cheaper to purchase locally.
So much cheaper to build and maintain a Ac Cobra in the states than here!

I've put "Billboard" style lettering on mine and I think they look almost as good as the Goodyears:
Happy New Year.

The Avons do look nice, but with the exchange rate a set will cost me about $1800 without including shipping.....
