    They wouldn't be a copy would they? (BTW the Michelin XZL is on the left!)



    At the moment I am investigating the Universal ones (pic below) shown on the 9.00 club forum. The rule from Customs is if the total of product, shipping and insurance is less than $A1,000.00 then there is no import licence paperwork, GST or Duty. Even if it comes in separate packages and invoices at or around the same time then the cumulative total is levied. If I buy them in groups of 3 they come in under the $A1,000.00 without import paperwork, duty/GST limit and look like they will be less than $300 per tyre. Just getting confirmation. The price for 5 landed in Oz was $US1,310.00 which is over the $1,000 limit.



    Am awaiting a second quote for the reduced quantity.

    The really nasty thing is that the Australian Agent, told me that Universal has stopped production - Universal US tells me they have them in stock.

    They look like a good all round pattern particularly for lots of on-road work. The overall diameter of our 900-16 measures 36.3" (922 mm). The section width or widest part of the tire measures 10.38" (236.65 mm) and is designed to be used on a 6.5" (165 mm) wheel.

    Will let you know when I have confirmation.

    I've not heard back from China (not surprising...)

    I would be keener on the Michies - simply because they are radials - but maybe the STA Superlugs are the better option price-wise!

    Back on the 900 forum - did you see the comment re British Army now using the Michies?
    I suggested we need an insider to 'acquire' some for us
    Maybe I should ask Blanchards...?

    Just sent another mail off to another Chinese place - possibly the manufacturer of the Michelin look-alikes. Will keep you posted.

    Hah Hah!
    Noticed that the manufacturer's minimum order is 1 x 40' container - eek!
    Maybe way out of our little league - but you never know the pricing might allow us to turn into exporters of FC tyres!!!

    Who else could we market/sell these tyres to in OZ/NZ?
    The army? (lol)

    Eeek 1 X 40' container! How many tyres would that be???? I wonder if that is all the one size? If not we would need to find a Yellow Sea Tyre importer, this morning I was having 2 Michelin fitted to my Rangie and asked the question, they had never seen the pattern but know of the Yellow Sea tyres although they sell Triangle. They have taken the page from the website and are investigating for me.

    You are right I would prefer Michelin radials but at $700 each they are out of my league at present.

    I wonder if we could find a Yellow Sea distributor who sells individual tyres - if you get a reply how about asking for a list of wholesale/retailer supplier?

    In the mean time I am going to proceed with the Universals at least for a trial, I have two vehicles after all. Was working on the relay this morning and my relay is moving in the chassis so I need to do the modification myself.

    Talk soon.

    They are a wholesaler but can tell you who their dealer is in your area. Actually the price was $214 delivered to my local transport depot.

    The tyres are Indian MRF and you can get them in a sand pattern or bar tread. They are 8 ply but the original FC 101 military goodyear tyres were only 6 ply.
