Rich,
ULR Malvern (Melbourne) have a heap of ATR's. Not sure what price.
Cheers, Craig

5 Tyres Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55R19
FED ECONOMY (3-5 DAYS) - $ 450.78 SHIPPING METHOD FIE

5 x P255/55R19 PI SCOR ATR XL 265.00
Total = $USD 1775, average price = $USD355ea

4 Tyres Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55R19

FED ECONOMY (3-5 DAYS) - $ 368.37 SHIPPING METHOD FIE

4 x P255/55R19 PI SCOR ATR XL 265.00

Total = $USD1325, average price = $USD315ea {Total price used in calc 1325) is for 5 not 4 - xtreme}

I am not sure whether any taxes would be imposed, especially on larger quantities.

Rich - we should continue on this via PM to see if we do a combined buy, but I thought others might be interested in indicative prices so I have posted these here.

The above pricing calcs are a bit out - using 265 ea and quoted freight figures.
The set of 5 works out at $USD355 ea and
The set of 4 works out at $USD367 ea

Another Sydney area tyre outlet that I have had good prices (on BFG anyway) and service from is Baulkham Hills Tyre King (Ph: 9686 4606)
My only relationship with BHTK is as a customer - ie no pecuniary interests.

Hi,

I've also just been through all this tyre stuffing around.

I tried to purchase Pirelli ATR before an outback trip. Couldn't get them. I ended up purchasing one Wrangler tyre ($530) as an extra spare before an outback trip. I didn't need it. Then on a shorter trip later I blew a side wall.

Then the Pirelli's I had on order turned up. I ended up buying 6 of them at $435 each.

Net result is that I have a garage (shower actualy) full of Wrangler tyres. 1 has never been fitted. One has about 200 Kilometers on it and three have done 10,000Km including outback (I recon about half worn).

Send me a Private Message if you want to buy any. I'm in Southern Sydney. It will be cheaper than Tempe tyres.

Peter

Thanks Craig,
I found a tyre supplier in Sydney - St George Tyres Arncliff who can supply the Pirelli's Scorpions Zero's for $330 ea!
Not ATR's though.

Thanks anyway Peter but I will get new tyres as they are a tax deduction!
Eddomak might be interested though.

$519 for Pirelli ATR's!! - my fav choice
$420 for Goodyear Wranglers - OME
$330 for Pirelli Zeros - Bit soft low k's
$270 for Kumho KL17 - sounds good but asymmetric. Kumho Tyres Australia Pty Ltd | 4WD & Light Truck Tyres

Thoughts please?

Pirelli ATRs. I bought six of them for $450 each fitted and balanced at Jax Castle Hill. Had to wait about 2 months to get them in some time ago.

Done about $5k with them and very happy so far. No additional noice and better on gravel roads. Havn't done anything muddy or too adventureous beyond that.
