Bob Jane Bundaberg quoted me last week $ 209.00 ea but I did not ask for a discount.
I got a set from Bob Jane in Hobart last April for $195.00 ea.
You have to ask for discounts and get quotes from 2 or 3 branches of Bob Jane.
In Hobart one of the branches ask me $ 235.00 I got hem for 195 just in another suburb :eek:

I like the look of the federals, very agressive tred pattern:twisted:

I found them very adecuate regarding handling in dried and wet conditions but I have new suspension on the RR.
Towing a 1 ton trailer @ 110 kph they were very good.

Yeah, was gunna go Bighorns, but I have a perfect (new) Buckshot spare, not very old, so thought I'd only have to buy 4 instead of 5 if I went down that route.
My other option was floggin it off I go blknights deal or Bighorns or whatever.

nope...... when i say it came into work, i mean it came into stock at the car yard where i work, and i had the unfortunate blessing of having it as a drive car for a few days..... in the dry on sealed roads, they were pretty damn ordinary, in the wet.... traction? what traction?

when they were pulled off the vehicle, a holesaw was put through the sidewalls by our RWC examiner as he agreed with me that the damn things were dangerous
