Lardy - I rang my local (Adelaide) tyre supplier yesterday to enquire about 5 new XZLs and he told me that Michelin don't bring them into Australia any more!! I can hardly believe that.
He wanted to sell me a set of Kuhmos.....
Might have to call Michelin in Sydney or wherever head office is.
And in the wet, on bitumen, they are OK but not fantastic. You have to knock off a few Km/h around the corners, and allow a bit extra for braking.
Yes, call the Michelin HO - would be strange if they don't export them to Australia anymore. The problem with XZL is however, that you might have to wait a while to get them. For me it was nearly 3 months earlier this year.Quote:

PS - I have no loyality with them - just informing others whom might be interested.
Spudboy - are you doing the Club trip to Wilmington with the Land Rover Club in September?

Thanks for the heads up Wayne.
Rang them. They want $1500 for the tyres and rims. I offered them a grand, but they said no! $1500 flat.
Not planning on going to Wilmington at this stage, but I'd be gathering that it might be your property they're going to.

I thought they were after top dollar for something at the end of the day is second hand.

$1500 is probably good value for unused 2nd hand tyres and rims. New the rims would cost $1000, and the tyres new would cost $1700.
