    Ryano at Fourbys Moorooka seems to do good prices (for outerlimits members anyway).

    This is how and where I got my last set.
    Hey Simon,

    Are they good to deal with. There pricing looks good, even adding 300$us for shipping. Would you recommend them?

    How do you go about ordering? phone them?

    Gday Pete,

    They are outstanding to deal with. They're quick to respond, you deal with the one person and he check your order the whole way through and they're quick!

    Would I recommend them - absolutely! I'd have no hesitation in using them again.

    I did it all by email.

    Here is the one hiccup. They wont take Australian credit cards due to our privacy laws and frauds which they have previously encountered. To get the payment across you need to do an international fund transfer (about $20 at your financial institution). When I look at the current tyre pricing and the dollar, I would always get a quote at least from Tyre Rack.

    BTW, do get them to quote you via email with the various shipping options. There is a huge shipping cost variation with little change in the delivery times.

    Cheers
    Simon

    Just got quoted $283 fitted and old tyre disposal for Bridgie 604vs on my Defender rims.

    I remember picking up the same tyre for $167 60000km ago. Admittedly that was a sale price.
